Keri Russell is coming back to a small screen near you, at least, that's the latest from Michael Aussiello who reports that Russell is in talks to play Will Arnett's love interest in the comedy pilot Wilde Kingdom.
Russell, who starred as the titular herione in Felicity, put her focus more on a movie career in recent years. Now, she might come to FOX, joining Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz and already signed lead Will Arnett.
Kingdom revolves around Steve Wilde (Arnett), a wealthy, self-centered Beverly Hills playboy who falls for a selfless humanitarian (Russell).
