Sarah Chalke Headlines ‘Maneater’ Miniseries
Tonight (May 30) at 9pm ET, Lifetime finally launches the new miniseries Maneater, which Grrl TV reported on earlier when the network first announced that Scrubs veteran and occasional How I Met Your Mother guest star Sarah Chalke had signed on as the lead. Joining her for the four-hour, two-part event are Gregory Harrison (Trapper John, M.D.), Maria Conchita Alonso (The Running Man), Garcelle Beauvais (NYPD Blue), and Judy Greer (27 Dresses), among others.
Maneater, which is based on the 2006 book of the same name by Starter Wife author Gigi Levangie Grazer, follows 30-something socialite Clarissa Alpert (Chalke), who decides one day that she’s going to marry a well-known Hollywood producer (Philip Winchester, Crusoe) after she begins to worry about still being single. The only problem is getting him to notice her and then play along, which is why Clarissa recruits her friends and family members to help her achieve that goal.
Follow the jump for a behind-the-scenes chat with the Maneater’s stars. The miniseries concludes tomorrow, May 31, at the same time of 9pm ET, and I’ve heard rumors that if the ratings are high enough, there may be a Maneater TV series in viewers’ future, à la what happened with The Starter Wife.
