Joe Flanigan (Stargate: Atlantis) has joined the cast of Lifetime‘s pilot The Secret Lives Of Wives. The project, inspired by the book by Iris Krasnow, explores the unvarnished truth behind the marriages of four different women — Michelle (Kim Raver), Reed (Salli Richardson), Keaton (Amber Clayton) and Jessie (Lauren Bittner). Flanigan will play Reed’s husband Jared, unshaven and a shadow of his former self who has become passive and unresponsive to his marriage. He joins David Conrad, Callum Blue and newcomer Derek Smith who play the other women’s significant others.

Can’t wait for this! We’ve missed Joe on our screens for too long and this sounds like its going to be a great project for him. I can’t wait to see it!
Awesome news! I do miss SGA, but I’m glad Joe’s getting work!
I’m with Suzieb and Cyn here, can’t wait to see it either.
) I would be over the moon when I could see him on TV every week again. So missed that guy. And the role sounds like an interesting one to me. So, as I know Joe’s a talented actor, he’ll give this character all what it needed. He’ll be just great, I know it.
I am so glad to hear that Joe Flanigan has a new project.
And the project sounds just GREAT
Great news for Joe. He’s been sorely missed since SGA had it’s untimely and unfair demise. Hope this one has better luck than his last good movie ‘Change Of Plans’. Good to see him back!
+1
SGA was shafted and better than nearly everything Syfy has greenlit since
Great news!! I’ve missed Joe ever since SGA went off the air. This sounds like an interesting role for him. Hope this is a ratings hit for Lifetime.
Now we just need to get David Hewlett on this show too, then you’ll have me tuning in without fail.
Oh, I’m so loving this news! I just love it when my SyFy fandoms (SGA/Eureka) collide! Salli Richardson and Joe Flanigan are two of my favorite actors, so I just can’t wait for this show to air. I wish them all the best.
It’s about time Joe got another starring role! Maybe there’s hope for Hollywood after all.
Yay! I’ve missed Joe on screen!
Great news! Joe has been off our screens too long! And this character sounds so unlike Sheppard that it will be a real treat to see Joe in a different kind of role!
Salli Richardson, Joe Flanigan, David Conrad, AND Callum Blue? This cast reads like the beginning of my dream team
. Can’t wait to see this show!
Wooohooo!! Will the pilot be aired in the UK? God, I hope so. I miss seeing Joe on TV like so many fans. If you haven’t seen him in Six Bullets I strongly recommend the film, he’s awesome!!!
