Westbrook, whose other credits include Awkward and Jane the Virgin, is repped by APA, Treadwell Entertainment Group and Myman Greenspan.
Gardner is set as Michelle Cuttriss who is also apart of Yale's inaugural female class.

Her roles include the indies Project Almanac and Goat. She is repped by UTA, 3 Arts Entertainment and Sloan Offer.

Additionally, Simon Cellan Jones (Boardwalk Empire, Treme) has come onboard to direct the pilot after having recently directed an episode of the NBCUniversal cabler's twice-delayed Shooter remake.

Guts, nerve and talent to stand her ground and hold her own against Nick's cool rockstar ways, Jack's relentless energy and genius, Kevin's masterful timing and skills and the big, brown, bald tattooed guy who just simply stands there and oooooozes smoldering, captivating, sizzling, can't take your eyes off this brilliant manly man.. never mind I got drunk on the ol' DJ kool aid again. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm proud to announce a girl who's playing the most important role in our movie - the talented, beautiful and down for a Scottish fight at any time, Ms @KarenGillanOfficial. And yes, this is the girl who is so bad ass she shaved her freaking head for Guardians of the Galaxy. We start production next month in Hawaii and as many of you already know, this isn't a remake or reboot, but a continuation of the awesome JUMANJI story we love. Jake "The Snake" Kasdan directing, Matt "OG" Tolmach producing. Yup, I give everyone nicknames. The adventure and fun continues... #JUMANJI #KarenGillan #RESPECT #GingerTough

The Scotland-born Gillan will play Martha, ending what was a months-long search for the coveted role that involved some serious A-list talent. She meshed best with the cast and won out. It’s the latest big get for Gillan, the onetime Doctor Who regular and Selfie star who has scored film roles in the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy and the upcoming The Circle.
Sony has set a July 28 release date for Jumanji, which Matt Tolmach is producing with William Teitler. Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner wrote the most recent version of the script, based on draft by original writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.

02:45 - Knightfall - Filming to Resume at another location in Prague
Thanks to Bazooka for the heads up.
Friday's fire caused damages of $4 million-plus, according to Czech media. Production on History's U.S.-Czech television series Knightfall will continue at another location in Prague after a fire on Friday heavily damaged a set built at local studio Barrandov.
Producers of the series have yet to decide whether to rebuild the set, while shooting is scheduled to resume at another location in the city, Czech TV network Nova reported.
The area damaged by the fire remains cordoned off while investigators work there, according to the report. Only a small part of the set, representing a medieval city, was saved. The fire, which broke out at around 7 p.m. local time on Friday, was completely extinguished by 7 a.m. the next morning. Damages are roughly estimated at 100 million Czech crowns ($4.1 million), Nova reported.
The fire will have an impact on the production schedule of Knightfall, but the shoot will not be moved to another city and will focus on street locations for the time being, local film news web site Kinobox.cz reported, quoting Barrandov studio's management.
A spokesman for A+E, History's parent company, told The Hollywood Reporter that the Knightfall production remains in Prague and resumed on Monday.
"There is no discussion about relocation," he added.
David Minkowski, a senior producer at Stillking Films, a local partner on Knightfall, also confirmed to THR that filming had resumed.
"In conjunction with our insurers and Barrandov construction, we are planning to rebuild the destroyed backlot set as soon as possible and complete filming in Czech Republic," he added.
The 10-episode drama, which counts Jeremy Renner as an executive producer and a guest star, was ordered to series in January. It is part of the cable network's continued scripted push, following the success of Vikings.

19:25 - 24: Legacy - EP Hints at Role for Mary Lynn Rajskub‘s Chloe
Enough about a possible Jack Bauer cameo. What we really want to know is if 24: Legacy will carve out a few minutes for Chloe?
“We have plans,” executive producer Evan Katz told TVLine in the below video when asked point-blank about Mary Lynn Rajskub‘s beloved tech goddess possibly making an appearance in the forthcoming Fox reboot. “Right now, our clear priority is [establishing] these new characters, and have the audience build a relationship with them. But we have some surprises planned.”
24: Legacy centers on a former Army Ranger (played by The Walking Dead‘s Corey Hawkins) who, upon returning to the U.S., turns to the CTU for help in saving his life. “The premise of the season is based on a real story about the guys who took out Osama bin Laden,” explains fellow EP Manny Coto. “It struck us as a fascinating [introduction] for a character who participated in a huge mission to take out a terrorist leader and then had to go back to his normal life. And then what would happen if [someone] started killing off the members of his team one by one? He’s the one who realizes this and goes on a large quest to find out why this is happening.
