EXCLUSIVE: Fiona Gubelmann has landed the female lead opposite Jason Gann and Elijah Wood in FX’s comedy pilot Wilfred, while Malcolm-Jamal Warner has been tapped for the male lead opposite Tracee Ellis Ross in the BET comedy pilot Reed Between the Lines.
Based on the Australian series of the same name, Wilfred revolves around a guy, Ryan (Wood), the girl next door/potential love interest (Gubelmann), and her mixed-breed dog Wilfred (Gann).
Reed centers on Dr. Carla Reed (Ross), a busy psychiatrist, wife and mom struggling to balance her job and her happy but chaotic homelife. The Cosby Show alum Warner is expected to play her husband.

Has there ever been a good show on BET? Is it even possible?
There’s never really been a scripted show on BET. The only thing I can think of is the animated series “Hey Monie,” which was actually pretty good. Their Punk’d/Blind Date hybrid, Hell Date, was actually pretty good, too.
Hey Monie and Hell Date? Surely you jest.
Reed Between the Lines sounds like The Cosby Show re-imaged. Good luck to them.
If it goes, it won’t kill either of their careers…no one watches BET. Wait a minute, I guess this would signify their careers being over anyway so I guess it doesn’t matter.
WE LOVE THEO!
Fiona is a fabulous actress! couldn’t be happier for her!
Fiona is beautiful. She will light up any program
Good to see BET coming out with some origianl programming.
Wouldn’t it be great to see these pilots switch stations. Wilford goes to BET and “Reed” to F/X. Both shows have universal themes. Oh never mind lets keep segregation alive in TV land.
If anyone can bring it to BET it is Robi Reed. She is a class act and bringing her to the network was a move forward for their original programming.
Look at the stars that came out of “In Living Color.”
