Tradecraft: Looks Like We Won't Meet Jane After All

Trade blog Deadline reports that Lifetime has passed on the Molly Parker pilot Meet Jane, which would have found the Deadwood actress (who made a memorable impression guest-starring on Human Target last season) playing a D.C. housewife enlisted by the FBI to spy on her husband, suspected of selling government secrets. The series wasn't picked up in the spring, but was still under consideration pending some retooling. Apparently the cable network still wasn't happy with it, as it's now officially not going forward. I liked the sound of this Scarecrow and Mrs. King-meets-Breach drama, so I'm sorry we'll never have the opportunity to see it.
