WICKED Alum Kate Reinders Cast in Sherri Shepherd Lifetime TV Pilot

Kate Reinders has landed a role in the new Untitled Sherri Shepherd Pilot being filmed for Lifetime. Dave Flebotte has penned the script about a married woman who discovers her husband has been cheating on her and has an illegitimate child - only to agree to let the child and her mother move in with the family.

Loosely based on Shepherd's own experiences the multi camera pilot is being developed for the 2009-2010 television season.

Reinders was most recently seen on Broadway as Glinda in WICKED. Other credits include the Broadway productions of GOOD VIBRATIONS, GYPSY (starring Bernadette Peters), INTO the WOODS, and THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER.

Lifetime Networks is a diverse, multi-media company committed to offering the highest quality entertainment and information programming, and advocating a wide range of issues affecting women and their families. Lifetime Television is the leader in women's television and one of the top-rated basic cable television networks.
