Summer Glau has joined the cast of TNT's Scent of the Missing.
The dramatic pilot will follow Susannah (Tricia Helfer), a K-9 Search and Rescue volunteer who solves crimes with her golden retriever Puzzle. Glau will play a beautiful, but tough member of Susannah's team, according to Deadline. The actress previously starred in short-lived NBC superhero drama The Cape and also appeared in post-cancellation cult titan Firefly as well as Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which many also consider to have been cancelled before its time.
Brothers actor Daryl Mitchell is also set to appear in Scent of the Missing as the team's wheelchair-bound communications technician. Mitchell starred in NBC comedy-drama Ed from 2002 to 2004 and was recently featured in a guest role on Desperate Housewives.
Production on the Scent of the Missing pilot, based on the book by Susannah Charleson, is expected to begin in late November. CSI's Carol Mendelsohn has co-written the project and will also executive produce alongside Melissa R Byer, Treena Hancock, Barry Josephson and Julie Weitz. CBS Television Studios is attached to produce.
