Why that 'Chaos' announcement didn't happen


The big announcement of a Chaos series pickup by CBS didn't quite happen this past week. Instead Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert were instead talking about the overall leap in major network TV series production in North Texas.

Nellie Andreeva
gives us the reason behind it all: A disagreement between 20th Century Fox Television (which is making the show) and CBS over the initial number of episodes. This also gives a little background for why North Texas-shot The Deep End didn't survive.

So will the show, for which the pilot was shot in Los Angeles with Brett Ratner directing (that's him in the photo), be made in Big D? Probably, but not for certain.

The article also gives a rundown of the Chaos cast: Freddy Rodriguez, Eric Close, James Murray, Tim Blake Nelson and Carmen Ejogo.

really hoping these series get picked up to film here. I got to be an extra in The Good Guys and it was SO fun. Hope to be able to do this more!
