Excellent news for fans of the Braverman family: NBC has renewed Parenthood for another season!

NBC ordered 15 episodes of the family drama from Jason Katims. In addition, it also ordered 13 episodes for what will likely be the last season of 30 Rock.

The network also picked up two new dramas for fall — a medical series called Do No Harm that stars Steven Pasquale and Phylicia Rashad, and a sudser called Infamous that will feature Victor Garber and Tate Donovan. In Do No Harm, a brilliant neurosurgeon wrestles with his dangerous alter ego, who threatens to wreak havoc on his personal and professional life. Infamous is an opulent soap in which a female detective returns undercover to the wealthy family she grew up in — as the maid’s daughter — to solve the murder of the notorious heiress who was once her closest friend.

Erika Christensen has joined the cast of the film “How Sweet It Is” according to Collider.com.

First up from Variety, the ensemble cast for mob comedy musical How Sweet It Is starts shooting this weekend in Los Angeles. The story focuses on alcoholic theater owner, Jack (Piscopo) who needs a strong showing for his musical’s opening night to dig himself out of debt with the mob. The mob boss (Sorvino) insists that his friends get roles in the musical, which complicates things somewhat. Reynolds will cameo as himself and Erika Christensen will play Jack’s daughter. How Sweet It Is, directed by Brian Hertzlinger (Baby on Board) from a script he co-wrote with Jay Black will debut this fall.

Fangoria is reporting that “The Tortured” will be released in limited theatrical release on June 15th!

Tonight is the season 3 premiere of “Parenthood”! It will be airing on the NBC network at 10:00 PM – don’t forget to watch!

Great news! The season 3 premiere of “Parenthood” is scheduled to air on Tuesday, September 13th at 10:00 PM!

Jackson Rathbone and Erika Christensen have signed on to star in the feature adaptation of the Fyodor Dostoyevsky novel The Idiot. The thriller centers on “a man of pure spirit who thinks he can save the world but is caught between a wildly beautiful and fragile woman, a woman he is falling in love with and a friend who is trying to destroy him.” Variety reports Paul Williams will direct with an eye toward a September shoot in Los Angeles. Donald Kushner (Tron: Legacy) will produce. Intandem Films is currently shopping the package to buyers at the Cannes Film Festival.

In The Idiot, the saintly Prince Myshkin returns to Russia from a Swiss sanatorium and finds himself a stranger in a society obsessed with wealth, power, and sexual conquest. He soon becomes entangled in a love triangle with a notorious kept woman, Nastasya, and a beautiful young girl, Aglaya. Extortion and scandal escalate to murder, as Dostoevsky’s “positively beautiful man” clashes with the emptiness of a society that cannot accommodate his innocence and moral idealism.

Several notable international filmmakers have taken on The Idiot. Akira Kurosawa filmed a sprawling 265-minute adaptation in two parts that was eventually cut down for release. As one of Russia’s preeminent directors, Andrei Tarkovsky likely would have produced the definitive version, but he died before he could start work on it. As far as I can tell, this is the first major English-language attempt to adapt The Idiot.

Thus far, all the news coming out of NBC’s early upfronts activity is good. On the heels of reports that Chuck will be back for a fifth season, a source tells TVLine that Parenthood and Harry’s Law also have been renewed for the fall.

NBC — which on Wednesday ordered to series Prime Suspect, Smash and the comedies Up All Night and Whitney — also has greenlit another three new shows: The Playboy Club, Grimm and Awake (fka REM).

Playboy Club stars Eddie Cibrian (CSI: Miami), Amber Heard (Zombieland), Jenna Dewan-Tatum (Step Up), David Krumholtz (Numb3rs) Laura Benati (Eli Stone), and is set at the titular infamous destination in 1960s Chicago.

A fantastical drama, Grimm stars David Giuntoli (Privileged) as a detective whose mission is to protect humans living in a world where Grimm’s Fairy Tale characters actually exist. Silas Weir Mitchell (Prison Break), Sasha Roiz (Caprica) and Kate Burton also star.

Awake, which comes to us from Kyle Killen (Lone Star) and throughout the development season has been pegged as an Inception-flavored thriller, stars Jason Isaacs (Brotherhood) as a cop who wakes from an injury to find himself living in two separate realities., Laura Allen (All My Children), Cherry Jones (24), Steve Harris (The Practice) and Michaela McManus (The Vampire Diaries) also star.
