Deadline reports that Minka Kelly has been cast in the J.J. Abrams–produced Fox drama pilot. Formerly titled Inhuman, it’s set in the near future when cops have android partners. (Meaning robot-people, not the phone. No one wants to watch a show about a cop whose partner is a phone. Or do they … ) It’s not specified what role Kelly will have, but we do know she will be climbing up the Friday Night Lights career power ranking.
