New Roles For Stars Of Cancelled Shows

Kat Dennings

Past gig: 2 Broke Girls, as brassy, sassy Max

New gig: ABC's Roseanne revival, where she could keep it loud and lewd as D.J. Conner's wife

Vanessa Hudgens

Past gig: Powerless, as R&D chief Emily Locke

New gig: Once Upon a Time, where the High School Musical graduate could "rejoin" the Disney family as adult Henry's baby mama

Never mind, SYTYCD just scooped her up. So, instead.....

Tom Mison

Past gig: Sleepy Hollow, as time-transplanted Witness to the apocalypse Ichabod Crane

New gig: Outlander Season 4, where he'd play against type as the villainous pirate Stephen Bonnet

Joshua Sasse

Past gig: No Tomorrow, playing an apocalypse-ready hipster

New gig: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, where he could look forward to a fun future as Rebecca's new love interest. (Added bonus: TV's former Galavant sings!)

David Giuntoli

Past gig: Grimm, as fairy-tale-beast fighter Nick Burkhardt

New gig: The Flash needs a new foe — one likely named DeVoe, based on the multiple anvils dropped during Season 3 — and we think Giuntoli would make a fine Thinker.

Morris Chestnut

Past gig: Rosewood's titular "private pathologist"

New gig: Designated Survivor still (21 episodes in!) needs to appoint a vice president. (We haven't quite hashed out where Chestnut's character could have been hiding this whole time, but he'd nonetheless get our vote.)

Katherine Heigl

Past gig: The headliner of CBS' short-lived Doubt

New gig: With fellow Grey's alum Isaiah Washington stepping down at The 100, there'd be a delicious irony in Heigl coming on board as an Imperator Furiosa-type warrior.

Freddie Stroma

Past gig: Time After Time's inventive H.G. Wells

New gig: The time is right for Jane the Virgin's Petra to get a do-right sweetheart.

Josh Bowman

Past gig: Time After Time's nefarious and notorious Jack the Ripper

New gig: The Ripper was a doctor, so Bowman could hold on to his stethoscope and play a hot-shot M.D. on Fox's The Resident — reteaming him with Revenge costar/real-life love Emily VanCamp.

Noah Galvin

Past gig: The Real O'Neals' out-and-proud Kenny

New gig: Would it be too meta for the outspoken actor to join Modern Family as football coach Cam's mouthy new placekicker...?

Beth Behrs

Past gig: 2 Broke Girls' Park Avenue princess, Caroline

New gig: Fuller House is overdue for a visit from Michelle Tanner, and barring any Olsen's about-face, Behr would finely fill those fashionable shoes.

Abigail Breslin

Past gig: Scream Queens' Chanel No. 5

New gig: If Ryan Murphy's election-themed chapter of American Horror Story needs a Tiffany Trump, Breslin's our pick. Provided there is absolutely zero dancing involved. 

AnnaLynne McCord

Past gig: Secrets and Lies, where her "housewife" Melanie Warner had a few "tricks" up her sleeve

New gig: A CW homecoming for the 90210 grad could be quite delicious, as the new Dynasty's HBIC. Or, really, any role that lands her in this get-up again.

Dove Cameron

Past gig: Liv and Maddie, where she played [see show title]

New gig: Riverdale fans would love to see the Descendants movies' spellcaster make some magic as teenage witch Sabrina — and we cannot disagree!

Candice King

Past gig: The Vampire Diaries, as cheerleader-turned-bloodsucker Caroline

New gig: CMT's Nashville, where she could make sweet music with any one of the show's eligible bachelors (and even if they're not quite eligible at the moment).

Emily Deschanel

Past gig: Bones' Bones, duh!

New gig: Almost eight years since her sister Zooey guested on Bones, it's time to return the favor with a short arc as the lady who runs day care for Cece and Schmidt's kid — and whom Jess never seems to bump into, hmm....

Augustus Prew

Past gig: Pure Genius, as the socially awkward head of a bleeding-edge hospital

New gig: If Arrow chooses to give a face to Helix honcho Cayden James, Prew would be a prudent pick, having played both brilliant (on Pure Genius) and badass (on Fox's Prison Break revival).

Leighton Meester

Past gig: Making History, as the Paul Revere's daughter

New gig: Having proven her comedy chops, we've love to see her move to The Good Place.

Martha Plimpton

Past gig: Real O'Neals matriarch Eileen

New gig: Always so fun to watch when she is giving as good as she is getting, she'd make a fabulous foil for Speechless mom Maya.

Adam Pally

Past gig: Making History's Dan

New gig: Keep on time travelling, bruh! As Rittenhouse continues to taunt the Timeless team, he could play a quippy male version of the tech-savvy Jiya to Annie Wersching's evil Emma.

Daniel Sunjata

Past gig: Notorious legal eagle Jake Gregorian

New gig: Blindspot could be just the spot for Sunjata, playing the man who kidnapped Reade/Zapata/Patterson.

Adelaide Kane

Past gig: Reign, where she reigned as Mary

New gig: Supergirl, where she could rain down mayhem as Season 3 villainess Reign. (Really, it's too perfect. Must happen!)

Kylie Bunbury

Past gig: Pitch, as MLB's first female pitcher

New gig: Surely Pitch boss Dan Fogelman has a role waiting for her on This Is Us. Maybe as the leading lady on Kevin's film for Ron Howard?

Tamara Taylor

Past gig: Bones' Dr. Camille "Cam" Saroyan

New gig: Among her many qualifications to run the Jeffersonian, Cam was a former cop — so maybe Taylor could wield a shield again and fill the void about to be left by Chicago P.D.'s exiting Sophia Bush. 

Adria Arjona

Past gig: Emerald City, as witch-killer Dorothy

New gig: Once Upon a Time, where she could battle magic anew — while also finding true love/making a baby with grown-up Henry Mills
