Hallelujah is about a stranger who comes to the small town of Hallelujah, Tenn. to bring “justice, peace and restore the faith in the world”. This is a town where “good and evil are exemplified” by a diner owner, Rye Turner, a man who had a run of tragic luck, and by a corrupt millionaire named Del Roman. A gospel choir will back up each episode with songs.

Arielle is tapped to play a girl of the name of Veda Roman. The cast currently includes Jesse L. Martin, Donal Logue and Frances O’Connor.

This is all great news for Arielle, whose most recent series, Life Unexpected, was dropped.

Damage Control is based on the career of legendary crisis management consultant Judy Smith. As a PR firm, we can expect this will have the same feel of legal dramas, I would think. The cast so far includes Kerry Washington, Henry Ian Cusack, Jeff Perry, and Darby Stanchfield.

Liza Weil, who has worked with Shonda on Private Practice and Grey’s Anatomy, will have a recurring role as Amanda. Her character may be romantically involved with the president.
