... ABC WILL renew "Castle", eventually. And when it does, it might do it for two seasons. The holdout on the news shouldn't scare fans, as ABC hasn't renewed a darned thing yet. Expect official word no later than next Tuesday, when ABC holds its Upfront in New York. [Deadline Hollywood]
.... CW has renewed "Nikita" and "The Carrie Diaries" for a fourth and second season respectively. How many episode orders for both series aren't known yet, whether "Nikita" will return with full season of 22 - 24 episode orders or 13 episodes order for it to finish the show.

BUSINESS TIME
... TNT has ordered the Howard Gordon (Homeland) produced "Legend" to series. The drama stars Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) as a spy whose specialty is disguise, allowing him to become a different person for each mission he goes on. Yesterday, TNT ordered the thriller "The Last Ship", starring Eric Dane as the captain of a Naval destroyer after nuclear war destroys most of the world.
... Starz is developing a new drama with Piers Morgan called "Fleet Street". The series would be about the rise of tabloid journalism in 1970s London as told through the eyes of an American journalist. Proving networks share a single brain, this is the second drama about the birth of tabloids put in development in the last two weeks. FX is developing James Ellroy's novel "Shakedown", about a private detective turned tabloid reporter in 1950s Los Angeles.
... Showtime's "The Borgias" might not get re-elected for a fourth season. If the current third season is the series' last, then hope is the series would wrap things up with a two-hour movie.
CASTING ROUNDUP
... Colin Ferguson, "Eureka's Jack Carter, is staying at Syfy and will join the cast of "Haven" as it enters its fourth season. Ferguson will play a character named William, a mystery man who crosses path with FBI agent Audrey Parker.
... Richard Madden, who plays Robb Stark in "Game of Thrones", is going from handsome (supposed) king to just handsome prince. Madden has been cast in Disney's upcoming live-action Cinderella film, playing Prince Charming. Lily James (Downton Abbey) will play Cindy, Cate Blanchett will play the wicked stepmother, and Kenneth Branagh is directing.
