Sad news! Though Scott Patterson‘s (Luke Danes on Gilmore Girls) new pilot series for NBC, The Event, and Melissa McCarthy‘s (Sookie on Gilmore Girls) has new CBS comedy pilot, Mike and Molly, were both picked up for the Fall season, The Wyoming Project, the upcoming pilot from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino (creators of Gilmore Girls), has not!

The CW has not chosen to pick up the Palladino series. Instead, the network has chosen to pick up two other new shows for the Fall slate: Nikita and Hellcats.

Big pout. :(

The Wyoming Project, the upcoming pilot from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino (creators of Gilmore Girls), is starting to get some promotion. The CW has recently released a couple of images for the project, which is currently only called The Wyoming Project as a development title – it’s also sometimes known by The Damn Thorpes.

The new series focuses on a horse trainer who must take over his parents’ ranch after their death and raise his 3 sisters.

According to the CW, The Wyoming Project, the upcoming pilot from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino (creators of Gilmore Girls) has added some new cast members. In addition to the previous casting info about Sean Faris and Renee Smith, we now have info that 3 others have joined the pilot.

“The Wyoming Project” Sounds Bad?

Television Without Pity has named the upcoming pilot from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino (creators of Gilmore Girls), The Wyoming Project, as one of the 10 “Worst-Sounding New Pilots.”

The top 10 list includes:

  1. Wright vs Wrong
  2. Hawaii Five-O
  3. Shit My Dad Says
  4. Defenders
  5. The Wyoming Project
  6. The Little Piggy
  7. Cutthroat
  8. Who Gets the Parents?
  9. Body of Evidence
  10. Kindreds

Keep in mind, The Wyoming Project is just a working title. This list is based on the show concepts, not their titles. They list Amy & Dan’s project in here because “[though] we did watch every single episode of Gilmore (even when it got totally ridiculous), we should be optimistic, right? No. Because we also saw The Return of Jezebel James.”

So, it’s a 50/50 shot here, right? I agree The Return of Jezebel James was quite horrible – though I blame it entirely on casting, not on writing. So let’s hope the casting can keep up with Amy & Dan on this new series, right??

Casting for “The Wyoming Project”

February 26, 2010 By arieanna 5 Comments

As many of you know, the creators of our beloved Gilmore Girls, Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino, are bringing a new series to the CW: The Wyoming Project. The series is said to be buzz-worthy by the LA Times, and we sure hope it lands them more success than The Return of Jezebel James did!

The new series centres around 22-year-old Gideon Thorpe, a horse trainer who inherits a ranch in Wyoming. There he must care for his 3 younger sisters after their parents die.

Sean Faris was recently cast in the lead role of The Wyoming Project. You’ll recognize him from The Vampire Diaries. Also cast in the series is Renee Smith, the oldest sister, labeled as “an unstoppable multi-tasker and surrogate mother.” I am not 100% sure if I found the right Renee in the photo above. Anyone know?
