*Gabrielle Union has been cast in what Lifetime is calling an “embedded pilot” for a spinoff to its original drama “Army Wives.”
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the network has been developing a “Wives”-inspired crime drama during recent months under executive vp entertainment JoAnn Alfano. The project now moves to the next level, with Lifetime airing a special “Wives” episode near the end of the current fourth season that will set the stage to launch the potential series.
In the episode, “Wives” regular Pamela Moran (Brigid Brannagh) returns to her former career and becomes a detective with the Atlanta police department. Union will play her partner, Detective Gina Holt.
Embedded pilots have become an increasingly common way to shoot without significantly adding extra costs.
Union recently played Zoey in ABC’s “FlashForward” and also was featured in NBC’s “Life.”

Gabby is a busy little bee.
To my knowledge, none of her series have ever make it out of the first season. Hmmm………..
YOU right bb remember the Night Stalker on abc from a couple years back maybe she’s bad luck on tv shows maybe she need to go back to movies.
Night Stalker was good to me. But back to the spin-off, if they are moving the character Pamela Moran to the spin-off, it will last some if they occasionally incorporate the other Army Wives characters from time to time.
Happy she has some steady work…. her acting is mediocre as best, but again happy a sista is getting some steady work in Hollyweird.
