Showtime's 'Big C' moves forward with plans to wrap as a miniseries
We have confirmation that Showtime's "The Big C" — or rather, "The Big C: Hereafter," as it has been retitled — will be part of next year's Emmy movies-miniseries race with a final season of four hourlong episodes.
Kathy Najimy and Isaac Mizrahi will appear on the final run with regulars Laura Linney, Oliver Platt, John Benjamin Hickey, Gabriel Basso and Gabourey Sidibe.
The Emmy movie-miniseries category has become crowded with projects such as FX's "American Horror Story" and short-season British productions. In addition, lead and supporting acting performances for longform programming will be combined into the same Primetime Emmy categories beginning in 2013.
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
