Rumor has it that Lansbury will work for four days on the program should she accept the role being offered to her. It is unknown which character the veteran actress is being considered for, but it is said that she will appear in two episodes out of the shortened season’s seven.

The casting of Lansbury comes on the heels of the announcement that fellow film and stage thespian Jim Broadbent will be lending his services to the show:

One of the longest running and most successful television crime shows in history, “Murder, She Wrote,” aired on CBS from 1984-1996, during which time Lansbury racked up — and still holds — the record for most Golden Globe nominations and wins for a lead actress. Centered on the fictional small town of Cabot Cove, Maine, the show lasted for 264 episodes with Lansbury solving a murder in just about every one. Fans and critics have pointed out that if Cabot Cove were a real place, it would be have one of the highest murder rates in the world — so as strange as the casting may sound, Lansbury might actually fit right in with the blood-soaked denizens of Westeros.

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
