The 33-year-old's past credits include episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, House and Dollhouse. She also starred in Joss Whedon's popular online series Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

'Ripper Street' to return for second series on BBC One

Ripper Street is to return for a second series on BBC One.

The period crime thriller - created by Richard Warlow - will air eight new 60-minute episodes in 2014.

Matthew Macfadyen, Jerome Flynn and Adam Rothenberg star in the Sunday night drama, which is set in London's Whitechapel just months after Jack the Ripper's reign of terror.

"Quality and ambition run through Ripper Street, from Richard Warlow's original scripts, the incredible cast and the captivating direction," said the BBC's controller of drama commissioning Ben Stephenson.

"All combine to create a period series with a modern and gripping edge that will return for a second series in 2014."

Ripper Street launched with 7.89m viewers on December 30, with the first episode drawing nearly 90 complaints due to its graphic content.

Series star Macfadyen - who plays Inspector Reid - later spoke out to defend the show, praising its "colourful", "grimy" style.

Ripper Street's first series continues this Sunday at 9pm on BBC One.

Amy Poehler to Publish Memoir With an 'Original Twist'

Save some space on your shelf next to Tina Fey's "Bossypants" -- Amy Poehler is writing an autobiography, too.

HarperCollins imprint It Books said the memoir from the "Saturday Night Live" alum and "Parks and Recreation" star would include an "original twist":

It isn't entirely true.

The publisher described the project as "an illustrated, non-linear diary full of humor and honesty and brimming with true stories, fictional anecdotes and life lessons." It said the book will be "a unique and engaging experience from one of today’s most talented and beloved stars."

“When I first talked to Amy about a book I was blown away by her creativity and her passion for the project. I am now so excited to be working with her and making her ideas a reality,” said It Books executive editor Carrie Thornton.

The as-yet-untitled book, Poehler's first, was inspired by Poehler's interest in helping young women find their way in the adult world. It is tentatively scheduled for a fall 2014 release.

Poehler recently co-hosted the Golden Globe Awards with Fey.

'Mrs Brown's Boys' not returning until late 2014?

Mrs Brown's Boys may not return to BBC One until late 2014, a report suggests.

The sitcom has proven a huge ratings hit for BBC One, but viewers may have to wait almost two years for a fourth series due to creator and star Brendan O'Carroll's busy schedule, Broadcast claims.

O'Carroll is said to be focusing on a Mrs Brown's Boys live tour, as well as a planned movie based on the series.

The show recently triumphed at the 2013 National Television Awards, beating Absolutely Fabulous, Benidorm and The Big Bang Theory to win the title of best situation comedy.

After winning the award, O'Carroll claimed that he writes Mrs Brown's Boys "for the audience" and that he doesn't care about the sitcom's mixed critical reception.

The third series of Mrs Brown's Boys concludes on Monday (February 4) at 9.30pm on BBC One.

'Game of Thrones' King's Landing recreated in 'Minecraft'

A Game of Thrones fan has recreated King's Landing in Minecraft.

Built using WorldPainter, it took Reddit user 'pizzainacup' and 100 fellow players four months to build the capital of the Seven Kingdoms.

A screenshot of Game of Thrones's King's landing recreated in Minecraft.

The recreation contains 3,000 unique buildings, all with fully decorated interiors, as well as custom trees and landmarks.

The map, which is not available to download, weighs in at 35GB, and is part of a bigger project to create Westeros in its entirety.

The project is said to be approximately 70% complete, and will eventually contain non-playable characters.

Minecraft debuted on PC in November 2011 following an extended beta period.

The subsequent Xbox 360 version holds the record for most first-day sales on Xbox Live Arcade, going on to sell 1 million copies in just five days.

Minecraft was previously named the most popular game on Xbox Live, beating the likes of Modern Warfare 3 and FIFA.

The game has previously been used for UN regeneration projects, while one fan has attempted to recreate planet Earth in-game to 1:1500 scale.

Another fan, meanwhile, is attempting to recreate Ocarina of Time in Minecraft.

'Dallas' Larry Hagman given "sensitive" send-off, says Patrick Duffy

Dallas star Patrick Duffy has insisted that his late co-star Larry Hagman will be given a "sensitive" send-off.

Hagman's oil tycoon character JR Ewing will be killed off in a whodunnit murder plot, intended to reflect the hugely successful 'Who Shot JR?' storyline from the original Dallas.

"We'll be dealing with the situation [of Larry's passing] in a really artistically sensitive, correct way," Duffy - who plays Bobby Ewing - told the Los Angeles Times.

"In lesser hands - more commercial hands, if you will - my fear is that it might not have been done nearly so well."

Exec producer Cynthia Cidre also promised that JR's exit storyline will be the character's "masterpiece".

"Our mission is to give Larry Hagman and JR a proper send-off," she said. "This is a character who will have the last laugh, no matter what."

New episodes of Dallas air on TNT on Monday nights and transmit on Channel 5 in the UK the following day.
