Jim Dooley will be scoring the new CW drama Emily Owens, M.D.. The show stars Mamie Gummer (daughter of Meryl Streep) in the title role, alongside Justin Hartley, Michael Rady, Aja Naomi King, Kelly McCreary and Necar Zadegan. The series, which was previously entitled First Cut, follows a newly minted doctor who, glad to leave her past behind for a fresh start in the adult professional world, discovers that life at the hospital where she works is no different than high school. Jennie Snyder Urman (90210, Something Borrowed), Dan Jinks (American Beauty, Milk) and Bharat Nalluri (Tsunami) are executive producing the CBS Television Studios and Warner Bros. Television production. Nalluri has also directed the pilot episode. Dooley has previously scored both seasons of the critically acclaimed TV series Pushing Daisies, which was also executive produced by Jinks. Emily Owens, M.D. is set to premiere this fall on the CW.

As previously reported, Dooley is also attached to score the TV drama series Hannibal for executive producer Bryan Fuller and based on the iconic character created by Thomas Harris. It has recently been announced that Mads Mikkelsen has joined the project’s cast to portray the title character.
And the “The Musnters” reboot (changed names to “Mockingbird Lane” — oh yeah, that’s much better, right?).
