Bobbi Salvör Menuez is in talks to join an international cast for “Lipstick on the Glass,” the English-language debut of acclaimed Polish director Kuba Czekaj (“Baby Bump”), Variety has learned exclusively.

Exclusive: We’ll never know if Ashley Judd ended up becoming CIA director because Epix has canceled Berlin Station.
Just more than a month after the Season 3 finale, the MGM-owned premium cabler has pulled the plug on a fourth season of the Paramount TV spy drama, I’ve learned.
