Elisha Cuthbert Returns to TV in NY-LON

24 fans will be happy (or not) to hear that Elisha Cuthbert will be returning to TV in the Fall. Cuthbert, best known for her roles as Jack Bauer’s daughter Kim on 24, has just been tapped to play the lead in the CBS drama NY-LON.

NY-LON is a remake of a 2004 British series that starred Rashida Jones (The Office, Unhitched). NY-LON centers on New York literacy teacher/record store clerk (Cuthbert), and a London stock broker, who embark on a cross-continental romance.

From what I understand, the pilot episode calls for Cuthbert to be put into dire situations that require her to whine into the camera and be all annoying. And yes, there will be mountain lions. Given her experience, I think she’ll be a natural in this role.
