Supergirl's Peter Facinelli Tapped For New Fox Pilot
How much longer will we have Maxwell Lord around for Supergirl? Deadline has just announced that Peter Facinelli will be the male lead opposite Marsha Thomason and Kim Raver in a pilot for Fox called Zoobiquity. The series is a light medical procedural from Bones executive producers Stephen Nathan and Jon Collier.
Based on the best-selling book by Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers, Zoobiquity follows the unlikely pairing of Dr. Kara Martins (Thomason), a successful, driven cardiologist as she risks career suicide by teaming with Dr. Lucas Cort (Facinelli), a brilliant, socially-challenged veterinarian who relates better to animals than people. They try to put aside their competitive natures to cure the incurable using a unique blend of cross-species medicine that's never been tried before.
At this point Supergirl has not been renewed but the ratings have been pretty good. How this will effect a second season, if there is one. remains to be seen.
