Dream Roles for Stars of Cancelled Shows: New Rookie Recruit, Meta Pitt Patient, Will Trent Sibling and More

It's time to reach into the back of our closets, dust off those casting director caps and put 'em on. Now that the dust has settled from this spring's many TV cancellations, and we await the start of a fresh fall season, we've taken it upon ourselves here at TVLine to find new work for the small-screen actors whose latest gigs have come to a close (whether by abrupt cancellation or pre-planned series finale). More from TVLine Grantchester to End With Season 11 - Find Out When It Will Air Abigail Spencer to Star Opposite Josh Charles in Fox's Doc Martin Adaptation HGTV's Battle on the Beach Cancelled After 4 Seasons, Says Co-Host In the list below, we've crafted some hypothetical characters for alumni of 20 concluded series, including The Handmaid's Tale, Night Court, 1923, Found, Andor, The Recruit and The Irrational. We've placed stars on shows spanning broadcast, cable and streaming — and though there's currently zero evidence to suggest these castings will actually happen, we're unironically jazzed about these imaginary scenarios, including an ER reunion on The Pitt, Noah Centineo's presence on a different Alexi Hawley series, and Melissa Rauch's return to the Big Bang Theory universe. But again: These are dream castings from Team TVLine, not actual news items. Keep scrolling to review all of our picks, then hit the comments to share the beloved faces want back on TV ASAP.
