Christina Hendricks, best known for playing Joan Harris on Mad Men, has joined the cast of Showtime’s Roadies pilot.
In Roadies, Hendricks will play Shellie, the production manager of a successful rock band that’s currently on tour. Shellie is billed as “tough, but privately emotional, married to her job… and scary-good at it,” reported Deadline. She’ll work alongside a guy named Bill, who will be played by Luke Wilson (Old School, Legally Blonde).
Instead of focusing on the band, Roadies will take a close look at the crew members behind the scene that make the tour possible, turning a band’s talent into a successful series of concerts.
Imogen Poots (The Look of Love), Rafe Spall (One Day), Peter Cambor (NCIS: Los Angeles) and Oscar-nominee Keisha Castle-Hughes (Whale Rider) fill out the cast of the Roadies pilot.
The Roadies pilot, a one-hour comedy by Cameron Crowe, will start filming in 2015 in Vancouver.
The second half of Mad Men’s final season will begin airing in spring of 2015.
