Monica Potter has joined NBC’s burgeoning Parenthood pilot cast, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The TV adaptation of the 1989 hit film will follow four siblings — played by Peter Krause, Maura Tierney, Erika Christensen, and Dax Shepard — and their parents — played by Craig T. Nelson and, likely, Bonnie Bedella (who’s still in final negotiations). Potter will play Krause’s wife, stepping in for originally cast Diane Farr, who had a scheduling conflict with a recurring role on Showtime’s Californication. Sam Jaeger (Eli Stone) is also now set to play Christensen’s husband.

I’m kinda liking this cast for some reason. Could be pretty funny
Wasn’t there a tv series adaptation of this movie once before? With Leonardo DiCaprio as the Joaquin Phoenix character from the film?
Interesting. But it’s on NBC, so I’m not holding my breathe.

What a great cast. I am looking forward to it!
Wow – I wasn’t interested in this at all until I saw this cast. Some seriously great people here.
This show is going to be fantastic, they guaranteed that by casting Maura Tierney.
Yay! Bonnie Bedelia!
