Molly Parker (Deadwood) is set to star opposite Josh Lucas in NBC’s midseason series The Firm, based on John Grisham novel and the 1993 movie starring Tom Cruise. In the series, set 10 years after the events in the book and the movie, Parker will play Mitchell McDeere’s (Lucas) wife Abby, played in the 1993 film by Jeanne Tripplehorn.

Vinnie Jones has been added to the cast of FX’s pilot Powers, based on the graphic novel of the same name. It centers on two detectives, Christian Walker (Jason Patric) and Deena Pilgrim (Lucy Punch), in a homicide department that deals with cases involving “powers” (people with superpowers). Jones, repped by APA and Elevate, will play the regular character of Johnny Royalle, a criminal kingpin who possesses telekinesis, among other abilities. He was most recently seen in NBC’s The Cape.

Meanwhile, NYPD Blue and 24 alum Ricky Schroder has signed on to star opposite Molly Parker in the Lifetime pilot Meet Jane. The project, from Warner Horizon, centers on Jane Bilinski (Parker) whose stale life as an unhappily married mother of two daughters in the Washington, DC area is suddenly re-energized and empowered when the FBI enlists her to spy on her husband (Schroder), a computer technician the government suspects is selling top-secret information to Russia.
