UPFRONTS 2013: TV Spinoffs’ Almost Perfect Year 
After a long search, Elena Satine (Magic City) has landed the last key role in NBC‘s Carlton Cuse-produced pilot The Sixth Gun. Written by Ryan Condal based on the comic, directed by Jeffrey Reiner and produced by Universal TV, the supernatural Western follows the story of six mythical guns, each with its own other-worldly powers. When the Sixth Gun, the most powerful and dangerous of the group, resurfaces in the hands of an innocent girl, Becky Montcrief (Laura Ramsey), dark forces re-awaken. Satine will play the “widow” Missy Hume, a powerful Madame who runs the town of Brimstone kept unnaturally youthful by being in possession of the Fifth Gun. A cold stunningly beautiful woman of great cunning, she is unafraid to use whatever means to collect all Six Guns for her own dark purposes. Satine, repped by ICM Partners, Mosaic and Dave Feldman, co-starred on the first two seasons of Starz’s Magic City.
Wynn Everett (The Newsroom) has been cast as the female lead opposite Steve Zahn and Christian Slater in the ABC drama pilot Influence, from Kyle Killen and 20th TV. The project is a workplace ensemble centered on the complicated relationship between two brothers — Clark (Zahn), a bipolar genius in human psychology, and Ross (Slater), a slick ex-con — who head a unique agency designed to solve their clients’ problems using the real science of human motivation and manipulation. Everett, repped by Gersh, plays Claire, Ross’ ex-wife, hired by Clark to be the new office manager.

This piece of development could actually turn around the entire network–similar to the halo effect Heroes S1 started to have before the moronic NUTS regime c. 2007 drove that would-be goldmine (and their own careers) into the ground. Hey NBC if you like the pilot and order it to series 1. Leave Carlton alone. 2. Keep Cullen Bunn involved/well-paid/happy 3. Keep douchehammers like Jeph Loeb and Tim Kring and Jesse Alexander and Michael Green FAR AWAY from this gem. This is Gunsmoke meets Lost if you don’t bad-executive it to death. AWESOME cast in place.
So you’re praising Heroes, while at the same time instructing NBC to keep everyone associated with Heroes away from The Sixth Gun. Gotcha.
Well said. Don’t mess this up, NBC.
You do remember the writers strike…right? That is what ruined the show creatively. So that was actually the networks fault for letting the strike happen to begin with by abusing there power and n o t giving writers proper compensation.
It does not matter who signs up for what. All NBC shows will be canceled after two, three weeks. These actors need a second job.
Seriously, whatever the premise, NBC will water it down to the point where the show is about a single woman in NYC who works for a magazine. It’s been going on since 1995. Dead last, NBC. Animal Practice mean anything to you? A monkey can run a network better.
I’m envisioning Deadwood meets Carnivale. But then that damn peacock saunters by and ruins the fantasy.
Wynne Everett is one of those “oh, yeah.. She was really good” modern character actors. Hope the show clicks, and we get to see her develop a character.
Satine is a fantastic actress! If Magic City had more eyes I believe she would have been it’s breakout. Hopefully this gets picked up, sounds great!
She had too little screen time. But she moving in the world – from Elite Call Girl in Magic City to Cunning Witchcrafting Madame in Sixth Gun.
Very much want this project to succeed for NBC.
Satine has a great future in this town, once they give her some good roles people will get to see that she is the genuine next big thing to hit this town.
Judy silver is the best thing about Magic City, I’m guessing this means she won’t be returning next season, huge bummer. Starz loss is NBCs gain.
Elena was a scene stealer on Magic City, I’m guessing this means she won’t be returning next season, huge bummer. Starz loss is NBCs gain.
Wynn is a talent and a good egg. Can’t wait for something of Killen’s to succeed.
Magic City was terrible. I tried so effin’ hard to enjoy it–I couldn’t. I tried even harder just to sit through it for the sake of watching Elena–I couldn’t. It was so terribly written, so slow, so static, so derivative: It was like a really sad daytime version of Melrose Place. Elena, however, seems like a cute girl, and I hope this gets picked up so we can see her again, if only for a bit. Agreed with the commenter who believes NBC will water this down to mush. This premise is great, and I’d love to see it gritty and dark without being contrived without gratuitous sex and violence (e.g. True Blood), unafraid to turn off some of the typical viewers, simply put: I would love to see it done sincerely with passion for the product instead of concern for the audience reaction, but we all know it won’t go that way. Executives fail to understand they know nothing of creativity, and so they further fail to understand that a compromised vision is a compromised product without a coherent foundation to underlie a very specific world borne out of a very specific psychology. Once you start editing and tweaking, the initial identity is lost and what your left with is a generic abomination that doesn’t fit anywhere.
