MUMBAI: US broadcaster NBC will air a drama Windfall with
Luke Perry, Lana Parrilla, Jason Gedrick, Sarah Wynter and D.J.
Cotrona.
The show follows 20 lottery winners after their unexpected good
fortune and premieres on 8 June 2006.
NBC Entertainment president Kevin Reilly says, "This is an
engaging and dramatic series with an extremely talented cast. Windfall
is an important component of our summer lineup and exemplifies our
commitment to quality year round original programming."
The show follows 20 lottery winners in the wake of winning a massive,
386 million-dollar lottery. Unfortunately, their initial ecstasy
is tempered by the romantic, social and family complications caused
by instant wealth.
At the center is a close-knit foursome who have known each other
since college when the 'wrong' spouses were in love. Perry stars
as Peter Schaefer, a devoted husband to Nina played by Parrilla
and father of two. Parrilla finds herself caught between her love
for her husband and the deep feelings she has for her college beau
and her husband's best friend, Cameron Walsh, played by Gedrick.
Sarah Wynter plays Cameron's loving but suspicious wife.
A relative stranger to their circle is Cotrona as Sean Mathers,
who finds that winning the lottery threatens to expose a dark secret
in his past. Also, for Damien Cutler a rebellious teen, winning
the cash means he is set free from his parents -- with millions
in his pocket. Alice Greczyn stars as Frankie, a 16-year-old girl
whose separated parents' newfound wealth sets off a marital war.
Rounding out the cast is Jaclyn DeSantis who plays Maggie Hernandez,
a nurse whose generous heart and newfound wealth prove to be a dangerous
combo.
