NBC’s Chicago Med will have new leadership heading into its 10th season.
Co-showrunners Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, who have been with the drama since it debuted in 2015, are stepping down at the end of the show’s current run. The married couple have helmed Med for nine seasons and more than 170 episodes to date. A new showrunner will be named later.
That’s an unusually long tenure for any series, let alone one hailing from Dick Wolf’s Wolf Entertainment, which frequently shakes up operations both in front of and behind the camera. Frolov and Schneider came in ahead of Chicago Med’s series premiere, taking over for Andrew Dettman. In contrast, Med’s fellow Chicago series, Fire and Pd, have changed showrunners multiple times over the course of their runs.

Country-music star Miranda Lambert's life is getting the TV-series treatment, but not in the way you might think.
ABC Family has started developing a show based on Lambert's childhood in Texas, but it's not about music (at least not primarily). In fact, it's a private-detective show, Deadline reports.
Here's the deal: When Lambert was growing up in Lindale, Texas, a small town east of Dallas, her mother and father, a retired police officer, went into business as private investigators. The show will take the family's life and spin from it what's being described as "'Hart to Hart' with a family," with the fictional Lambert kids helping their parents solve cases.
Or, if you'd rather, it could be a nuclear-family, Southern version of "Veronica Mars."
Scott Kaufer, a veteran of "Memphis Beat," "Boston Legal" and "The Chris Isaak Show," will write a pilot script and executive produce the project.

The hunt for the person who will replace Simon Cowell on "American Idol" is on.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Wicked Games" singer Chris Isaak - whose list of past TV credits includes his own sitcom, "The Chris Isaak Show," on Showtime - has met twice with Fox.
The network reportedly has also considered singer Harry Connick, Jr., and has "given the once-over" to rocker-turned-reality star Bret Michaels, though the Poison front man is reportedly out of contention.
Harry served as a mentor on the show's latest season, and earned kudos from the ordinarily sharp-tongued Simon.

Auditions for the 10th season of "American Idol" already kicked off in Nashville last week, but there has still been no word on who will replace departed lead judge Simon Cowell come January.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the acerbic Brit's chair could be filled by one of a trio of American musicians whose experience in the pop culture machine has given them plenty of expertise on what it takes to make it.
Though they've been typically tight-lipped about who might be in the running, the Fox network has reportedly been set on finding a well-known music-industry figure to take over the lead chair, with names such as former Sony Music boss Tommy Mottola and Madonna manager Guy Oseary popping up in the rumor mill.

HollywoodNews.com: Who isn’t biting their nails, awaiting the news of who will replace Simon Cowell on Fox’s “American Idol”?
Preliminary auditions have already begun for the 10th season of the show.
There’s no question that Fox wants a major music personality and the Hollywood Reporter is headlining that Chris Isaak has met with the network twice.
While Isaak isn’t confirmed yet, Fox expects Cowell’s shoes to be filled by early September.
Meanwhile, Cowell’s upcoming Fox singing competition “The X Factor” is also seeking judges.
The British press has been beating the drum for Elton John to replace Cowell, announcing a number of times that he’s a shoe-in and would receive a plump paycheck.
Isaak would give “Idol” a different tone; definitely less pungent than Cowell. While he’s a revered romantic blues pop singer, he does possess a dry sense of humor...

With Gwen Stefani poised to make her big-screen debut in Martin Scorsese's Aviator, her husband, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, is following her lead by inking to star in Crusader Entertainment's The Game of Their Lives. The project, being directed by David Anspaugh, is based on the book by Geoffrey Douglas. Adapted by Angelo Pizzo, it's the story of the American soccer team that, in a stunning upset, defeated England in the 1950 World Cup. At that time, the tournament barely registered on America's sports radar, so the United States sent a hastily assembled band of amateur and semiprofessional players, composed chiefly of working-class immigrants. Considered the underdogs, the Americans took on the seemingly unbeatable English side with surprising results. Rossdale, who has an extensive soccer background, will play English team member Stanley Mortenson. Wes Bentley stars along with Gerald Butler, Richard Jenik, Louis Mandylor and Jay Rodan. Crusader topper Howard Baldwin is producing with Karen Baldwin, Greg Johnson and Ginger Perkins. Rossdale is repped by Brillstein-Grey Entertainment. His other credits include The Chris Isaak Show.
