Luke Perry to star in NBC's 'Windfall'

(Posted July 21, 2005 by Leah Yoakum)

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) NBC has added another component to its midseason roster, picking up a drama called "Windfall" that was originally a pilot at FOX.

The show, which stars Luke Perry ("Beverly Hills, 90210") and Jason Gedrick ("Boomtown") will follow a group of 20 friends who collectively win a $386 million lottery jackpot, and the changes it wreaks in their lives. FOX developed the show as part of its pilot slate last spring but ultimately passed on it.

The pickup of "Windfall" gives NBC four shows it can plug in at midseason. Last week the network ordered "The Book of Daniel," a drama it developed about a pill-addicted minister (Aidan Quinn, "Legends of the Fall") who has conversations with Jesus (Garret Dillahunt, "Deadwood"), and it previously picked up the comedies "Four Kings" and "Thick and Thin."
