Steven Soderbergh may have retired from directing feature films, but fortunately for us he's turned his attention to the small screen. His new Cinemax series The Knick is one of the best things on TV right now, and earlier this year we learned Soderbergh would be turning his film The Girlfriend Experience into a series for the Starz network. Now we know who will be taking on the lead role, and it's Riley Keough, who worked with Soderbergh on Magic Mike. Amy Seimetz and Lodge Kerrigan will spearhead the show about the life of a high-priced call girl who provides the complete "girlfriend experience" as part of her job. [ThePlaylist]
The final season of Boardwalk Empire is now underway, but one of its stars has already found his next project and it's a pretty big one. Shea Whigham has landed the male lead in Marvel's Agent Carter series, joining Hayley Atwell, Chad Michael Murray, and Envar Gjokaj. He'll play SSR Chief Roger Dooley, who in the comics was a sex-obsessed SHIELD agent who usurped control of the organization and illegally imprisoned She-Hulk. That probably won't happen on Agent Carter given that it's set around WWII, but you never know. [Deadline]
