Unfortunately the news of the series pick-up for Mad Love isn’t relevant to us anymore as Minka will be replaced by another actress Current rumours are that ex-Scrubs star Sarah Chalke will step into the role.

Full story at Deadline.com

Variety is reporting that Minka’s sitcom Mad Love (formerly known as True Love) has been picked up for mid-season Great news!!! Here is the story:

CBS has given a 13-episode order to midseason sitcom “Mad Love.” Pickup is expected to be finalized shortly.

Multi-cam laffer, from Sony Pictures TV and CBS TV Studios, revolves around four twentysomethings searching for love in New York City.

Show continues the streak of success for exec producer Jamie Tarses, who has had a banner pilot season — landing two comedies on ABC — Matthew Perry starrer “Mr. Sunshine” and couples ensemble “Happy Endings” — as well as the buddy lawyer dramedy on TNT, “Franklin and Bash.”

“Mad Love” comes from Tarses’ brother, scribe/exec producer Matt Tarses, and stars Minka Kelly (above), Ashley Austin Morris, Hal Williams, Jason Biggs, Tyler Labine and Sarah Wright. Pamela Fryman directed the pilot.

Not sure if you guys are aware, but Minka is currently shooting a film called “Searching for Sonny” co-starring Jason Dohring. Nice to see these two reunite after The CW passed on their television pilot “The Body Politic”.

SEARCHING FOR SONNY is the story of three bumbling friends who come back home for their high school reunion only to get sucked into a small-town murder mystery that is eerily similar to a play they performed in high school.

It is the first film to be shot entirely on a DSLR camera.

For more information on the film visit the website or the Twitter page. You can also hit up the Facebook page for a ton of photos from the set.

News on this film kind of went from zero to 100 very quickly. Pretty much as soon as Minka was announced to star in the film, she was off to film it.

In other news, we should find out if Minka’s comedy pilot for CBS called True Love goes to series in the coming days. Exciting!

With the network upfront presentations approaching soon, here is the latest pilot buzz update from THR:

CBS: “Hawaii Five-O” remains the most likely drama to receive a series order. Brett Ratner’s CIA drama “Chaos” and legal drama “Defenders” with Jim Belushi and Jerry O’Connell are considered top contenders. Nobody seems to like the “Criminal Minds” spinoff, yet most believe the drama will get picked up for midseason anyway. Among comedies, “Bleep My Dad Says” (aka “Shit My Dad Says”) seems to be an easy bet with William Shatner in the title role. Executives are said to like “HIMYM” creators’ Carter Bays and Craig Thomas’ “Livin’ on a Prayer.” Multicamera comedies “True Love” and Chuck Lorre’s “Mike and Molly” have mixed reviews, but one can’t ever count out Lorre at CBS.

Hopefully the show gets picked up. We’ll know for sure on May 19th, unless CBS announces it early.
