Friday Night Lights' Minka Kelly has landed the female lead on Body Politic, the CW's pilot about an absurdly pretty gathering of D.C. up-and-comers.
Kelly will play Hope, a sweet Michigan gal who, after her mother dies, moves to Washington to connect with the father she never knew — a senator-turned-attorney general (played by Animal House's Tim Matheson).
And what of Kelly's FNL gig? According to the Hollywood Reporter, should the NBC/DirecTV series get picked up for a fourth season, the actress likely would return for at least a few episodes, to wrap up college-bound Lyla's storyline.
Also on board for Body Politic is Jason Dohring, playing a reporter for the Washington Post. Following his run as Veronica Mars' Logan, Dohring most recently had a series regular role on CBS' short-lived Moonlight.

Question: It's been weeks since you've given us something on the Veronica Mars movie. Can you help a fan in desperate need of some good news? --Elise
Ausiello: Progress has been made! "I pitched [it] to Joel [Silver]," Rob Thomas reports. "He seemed to really like the pitch. Waiting to hear whether he can get The Powers That Be at Warner Bros. to take a chance on it. If they say no, we're out of luck, as the studio owns the rights. There's really nowhere else I can take it." Let's focus on the positive, shall we? Joel liked the pitch! Woo-hoo!
