British actress Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness) is set as the lead in
CBS’ single-camera comedy pilot Hannah Royce’s Questionable Choices. Steve Pink
(Hot Tub Time Machine) is directing the pilot, from Mad Love creator Matt Tarses
and Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment.
Eve’s Hanna is a pretty, smart, outspoken nurse who tends to leap before
she looks. Even though she’s a bit of a “train wreck,” she’s the glue that holds
her messy family together and she’s about to start making better choices. James
Earl plays J.L., the well-meaning, disorganized father of Hannah’s son.
Sony Pictures TV is co-producing with CBS TV Studios. Tarses executive
produces with Kaplan, Wendi Trilling, Dana Honor and Fiona Clark. Pink recently
directed an episode of the Kaplan-produced Netflix dark comedy series Santa
Clarita Diet.
This marks the first major role on American television for Eve, who
appeared in an episode of Netflix’s anthology Black Mirror, directed by Joe
Wright. She recently wrapped the feature film Replicas, opposite Keanu Reeves.
Eve is repped by Untitled Entertainment, CAA and Independent Talent.
