Netflix has ordered 13 episodes of sitcom “Insatiable,” which was originally passed over by The CW. Described as darkly comedic and quirky, the pilot revolves around a “disgraced and dissatisfied” lawyer (Dallas Roberts) who becomes a beauty pageant coach for some reason and must deal with a “vengeful, bullied teenager” played by Debby Ryan. Written by Lauren Gussis (“Dexter,” “Once Upon a Time”), with Andrew Fleming directing the pilot, “Insatiable” is inspired by real-life Southern lawyer and top beauty pageant coach Bill Alverson.
The cast also includes Christopher Gorham, Erinn Westbrook, Michael Provost, Sarah Colonna, Kimmy Shields, Irene Choi and Alyssa Milano in a major recurring role.
