TV News

Here is the latest news in the TV industry:

Mindy Kaling will reprise her role of Kelly Kapoor in the series finale of The Office. Filming of the final episode will begin March 11. The last episode will air in May on NBC.

Fan will see a How I Met Your Mother wedding this May. Barney and Robin will tie the knot in the finale. However, it is not 100% that the Mother will be revealed.

Southland stars Ben McKenzie and Shawn Hatosy have both signed on two star in CBS pilots. This may mean that the show will not be returning for a 6th season. The show is currently averaging 1.3 million viewers, which is decent for a cable show but nowhere close to ratings for The Walking Dead (11 million).

For the first time since the two shows have aired at the same time, Two and a Half Men surpassed American Idol in ratings. Thursday's Men episode was watched by 13.6 million and Idol drew 12.9 million viewers.

Monday's episode of Dallas will not only show J.R. Ewing's funeral, but will also honor Larry Hagman. Hagman passed away in November during the middle of filming the show's second season. His character was shot to death at the end of last week's episode. Expect to see many former characters.

Kathy Bates has been cast in the third season of American Horror Story. The story line will take place in  New Orleans. Frances Conroy, who many might know as Barney's mom on How I Met Your Mother, will also be back for season 3. She previously played Moira the main in Season 1 and the Angel of Death in Season 2.
