Tricia Helfer Guest Starring on Community

Abed’s about to kind a kindred spirit via a Cylon. Which kind of sounds right, no?

TVLine's Meg Masters reports that Tricia Helfer is guest starring in an episode of Community this coming season. She’ll play Lauren, described as a "drop-dead gorgeous superfan" of Community’s oft-mentioned Doctor Who parody/substitute, Inspector Spacetime. At Comic-Con, Community’s new showrunners, David Guarascio and Moses Port, revealed there will be an episode involving an Inspector Spacetime convention.

No doubt there's some fun tongue-in-cheek casting having Helfer, best known for Battlestar Galactica, playing someone obsessed with a science fiction series. It was preciously reported that Little Britain’s Matt Lucas will play another Spacetime uber-fan this season.

Community: Season 4 premieres October 19th. Also previously revealed as guest starring is Malcolm McDowell, who will play a Greendale professor.

Mad Men Star Joins Arrested Development

Mad Men's John Slattery will soon be joining the upcoming fourth season of Arrested Development.

While TVLine, who broke the story, notes that Slattery's character has yet to be revealed, they also add that the actor will be appearing in multiple episodes. Slattery will play one of several new characters to appear alongside the original cast.

Said executive producer Ron Howard of the show's return, "[Series creator] Mitch [Hurwitz] isn't trying to recreate something. It's been away for a while, and part of the fun that Mitch has been mining and exploiting is, what's new to discover about these people? What’s delightfully unchanged? He and the writing staff and the actors have a fantastic sense of that. They're pretty brazen, pretty bold and fearless. That's what made the show into something that fans really kept alive."

As announced back in November, Arrested Development will be returning with 10 new episodes to premiere all at once on Netflix sometime next year.
