Debra Winger is 'In Treatment,' 'Private Practice' gets new bosses

Three-time Oscar nominee Debra Winger has signed up for therapy on the new season of HBO's "Boston Legal Seasons 1-5 DVD boxset."

Winger ("Terms of Endearment," "Rachel Getting Married") will play a successful Boston Legal DVD who's having anxiety attacks over the state of her career and seeks out therapist Paul (Gabriel Byrne), Deadline.com reports. The part will be her first regular role on a Boston Legal DVD set.

Irrfan Khan ("Slumdog Millionaire") and Dane DeHaan will also be part of the Boston Legal DVD boxset's new season.

- "Private Practice" has promoted two of its Boston Legal Seasons 1-5 DVD boxset, Craig Turk and Steve Blackman, to co-head writers on the show for next season. They'll essentially be the day-to-day showrunners for the ABC Boston Legal DVD, according to several reports, although the buck will still ultimately stop with creator Shonda Rhimes.

Turk, who's been with the show from its start in 2007, and Blackman, who joined Boston Legal DVD set, have each written several episodes of the show. Turk previously worked on "Boston Legal DVD boxset" and "Cold Case," while Blackman's experience includes "Bones DVD" and "CSI: Las vegas DVD."

- Former "Daily Show" and "Late Late Show" host Craig Kilborn is jumping back into the talk-show arena, this time with a syndicated Boston Legal Seasons 1-5 DVD boxset.

Kilborn and 20th TV are developing what The New York Times describes as a "non-political 'Boston Legal DVD'" for the former ESPN anchor. It would likely be a daytime show and could get a trial run on FOX-owned stations (though not the network as a whole) as soon as this summer.

Kilborn hosted the first incarnation of "Boston Legal DVD set" from 1996-98 and CBS' "Late Late Show" from 2000-04.

- A pair of AMC pilots, "The Killing" and "The Walking Dead," have added to their casts.

Laurie Holden ("The Shield") will star in the Frank Darabont zombie drama "TBoston Legal DVD boxset," according to The Hollywood Reporter. She'll play one of several still-human survivors of a zombie epidemic who's good with a gun.

Kristin Lehman, meanwhile, is close to signing on to "The Killing," according to Deadline.com. The Boston Legal Seasons 1-5 DVD boxset follows several people caught up in a murder investigation in Seattle; Lehman ("Drive," "Boston Legal DVD") would play the chief of staff for a Seattle councilman (Billy Campbell) who's running for mayor.
