As all fans should know by now, Pushing Daisies returns for season two on October 1.
Here's a poster, celebrating that exciting fact:
Excited for season two of Pushing Daisies? It airs on October 1.
Take a look at the promo for the premiere right now...
Stephen Root - best known for roles in Newsradio and Office Space - is joining the cast of Pushing Daisies for four episodes.
Sources confirm to Entertainment Weekly that Root's character "has a shared history with both Ned's dad and Chuck's dad," according to series creator Bryan Fuller. "He stirs up a lot of hullabaloo for everyone, particularly Aunts Lily and Vivian."
The second season of Pushing Daisies begins October 1.
We previously reported that Pushing Daisies was seeking an actress to portray Emerson's mom. Well, the search is over!
Broadway legend Debra Mooney has been cast in the role. And yes, last we checked, the star was still white.
Anna Friel and Lee Pace recently spoke to Sci-Fi Wire about the upcoming season of Pushing Daisies.
Here are some highlights from the interview:
On the season premiere: "The very first scene of the very first episode is in our beekeeper outfits," Frield said. "She gets her first-ever job at a honey factory, where she's a honey-bee girl."
On a future episode that focuses on nuns: "The nuns are really funny," Pace said. "Mo Collins plays the dead nun in the nunnery episode. She plays this trash-talking nun, and she's funny, funny, funny. In that episode, we're having a good time with the gumshoe-solving-crimes [genre].
Chi [McBride] was doing this real serious, kind of noir, kind of William Shatner [style of] acting. So I did a take where I was kind of making fun of him doing that. That's when he cracked up. I don't know if they'll use it in the episode, but I hope they do."
On episode four and frescorts: "Frescorts are friends for hire, which actually exists," Pace said. "David Arquette is our guest star in that episode. He's someone in need of a frescort. He knew the dead frescort, and he and Ned become really friendly because we're both misfits."
Remember: Pushing Daisies returns on October 1. We can't wait!
Our friend at Entertainment Weekly, Michael Ausiello, has released a couple of exciting Pushing Daisies spoilers.
"She's the number one girl at Betty's Bees, who may or may not have been up to some mischief when she was stung to death by a swarm of bees," said Daisies creator Bryan Fuller.
Pushing Daisies actress Anna Friel will star alongside Will Ferrell in next summer's family movie, Land of the Lost.
Here's an early look at Friel in the film:
This sounds like ideal casting to us:
David Arquette - who simply looks quirky - will appear as Randy Mann in the Pushing Daisies episode titled "Freshcorts."
The character is described as a socially inept man who possesses a "secret, special talent" that connects him to Ned. Might Randy's gift be a variation on the pie maker's ability to resurrect the dead?
Pushing Daisies, sadly, did not earn a nomination for the 2008 Emmy Awards. But two of its stars garnered well-deserved nods in the categories of Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series and Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series.
