Dream Roles For Stars Of Cancelled Shows (2020)

When one television gig ends, another (hopefully) begins: TVLine has dreamed up potential new roles for the stars of recently cancelled or concluded shows such as Single Parents, God Friended Me, The Good Place, How to Get Away With Murder and other small-screen faves. Which would you like to see come true?

Anna Camp

Past gig: Perfect Harmony's high note, hash-slinging soprano Ginny

New gig: Brooklyn Nine-Nine's maternity-leave fill-in for Amy, a ray of sunshine who's too bright for even Amy's husband Jake to dislike.

Jaime Camil

Past Gig: Broke's wealthy, big-hearted Javier

New Gig: A seductive vampire who woos Nadja away from Laszlo on What We Do in the Shadows.

Jake Choi

Past gig: Single Parents' polyamorous airhead Miggy

New gig: A new presence at All Rise's courthouse, one whose wacky good humor soothes Emily — and has the opposite effect on her beau, Luke.

Jimmy Smits

Past Gig: Bluff City Law attorney Elijah Strait

New Gig: A CDC expert who comes into New Amsterdam's hospital as part of a coronavirus storyline.

Joe Morton

Past gig: God Friended Me's spiritual father, Rev. Arthur Finer

New gig: Ainsley's new lawyer on Prodigal Son, who doesn't really seem to have her best interests at heart while representing her. (Bonus: The role would reunite Morton with fellow Scandal alum Bellamy Young.)

Kyle MacLachlan

Past gig: Carol's Second Act physician Stephen Frost

New gig: The new NYPD commissioner on Brooklyn Nine-Nine who finds himself in way over his head amid continued civil unrest.

Leighton Meester 

Past Gig: Single Parents spitfire Angie

New Gig: Dex's love interest on Stumptown... who also happens to be Hoffman's replacement on the force.

Liza Weil

Past gig: How to Get Away With Murder's relentlessly unfortunate lawyer Bonnie Winterbottom

New gig: An outspoken, entitled PTA mom on Good Girls who reluctantly gets involved with Beth, Ruby and Annie's side hustle.

Matthew Gray Gubler

Past gig: Criminal Minds' brilliant Spencer Reid

New gig: As the estranged son of Michael Emerson's Leland Townsend on Evil, Gubler could offer insight into Kristen's tormentor — as well as occasionally direct some downright creeeepy episodes. 

Nathalie Kelley

Past Gig: The Baker and the Beauty's famous starlet, Noa Hamilton

New Gig: Back as Dynasty's real Cristal (for real this time!) 

Rome Flynn

Past gig: Sam's secret son, the enigmatic Gabriel on How to Get Away With Murder

New gig: Station 19's new probie, a thrill seeker who's more fearless — and, in a way, more dangerous — than anxious predecessor Emmett ever was.

Sarah Hyland

Past gig: Modern Family's ditzy Dunphy daughter, Haley

New gig: Max's ex-girlfriend on Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, who returns to town hoping to reconnect with him. Bonus: Hyland sings!

New gig: A quirky Good Fight lawyer who takes over exiting Lucca's caseload.

Patricia Heaton

New gig: A therapist on Mom with very little patience for new client Bonnie.

Natalia Cordova-Buckley

Past gig: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez

New gig: Having proven she can give as good as she gets (as the MCU's first Latina superhero), Cordova-Buckley could be just the person to give Batwoman's Alice a scare, playing Season 2's mysterious Safiyah Sohail.
