Although her starring role in the first version of The Selection pilot last year didn’t set the world on fire, The CW still obviously has confidence in Aimee Teegarden, who has now been cast to headline another pilot for the network, Oxygen.
Deadline.com broke the exclusive tonight. (Really, do casting directors just have Nellie Andreeva on speed dial?!?!)
Oxygen shows what happens when a human girl falls in love with an alien boy who is one of nine members of his race (The Orion 9) that are integrated into a suburban high school. Sounds kind of Roswell-ian, but also pretty cool. Now if only they could change the title, which reminds me of a cable network aimed toward women. And now with Teegarden definitively not tied to The Selection, they can call Stacey Farber up, right?
