She's determined to reinvent herself in this singular neighborhood brimming with cafecito counters, Santería altars, and bench ads for ass implants. But first she must learn that, hay que resolver: you gotta work with what you've got." Danielle Claman Gelber and Teri Weinberg will also executive produce for Amazon Studios with Clark Johnson attached to direct and produce. (Deadline.com)
IN TREATMENT (HBO) - Liza Colón-Zayas, John Benjamin Hickey and Quintessa Swindell are bound for the show's Uzo Aduba-led revival as Rita, "Brooke's longtime confidant and friend who supports Brooke as she contends with her own demons after a life-altering loss"; Colin, "a charming millionaire beach bum turned white-collar criminal reckoning with all the ways his life has changed following his recent release from prison"; and Laila, "Brooke's distrustful, rebellious teenage client, struggling to carve out her own identity separate from her family's overbearing expectations," respectively.

(Deadline.com)
UNTITLED THE BATMAN PROJECT (HBO Max) - Terence Winter is bowing out as showrunner of the series due to creative differences as "Winter's vision for the drama did not match what [Matt] Reeves and other producers had in mind." The search is underway for a replacement. (THR.com)
YOUR HONOR (Showtime) - Blair Underwood will guest star on the Bryan Cranston-led limited series as Roland Carter, "an investigative reporter and close colleague of Robin Desiato, the deceased wife of Judge Michael Desiato (Cranston)." (Variety.com)
