Legal Series, Based On an Aussie Hit, Will Make Its Appearance On Fox Network

Fox is adapting the popular Australian legal drama (actually more of a dramedy), Rake, which stars Richard Roxburgh as Sydney-based Cleaver Greene, for the US market. The US version stars Greg Kinnear ("You've Got Mail," "The Kennedys," (TV miniseries), and something called "Murder of a Cat," which doesn't tempt me to see it, based on the title), as Keegan Deane, a criminal defense attorney who always seems to get into trouble.

More here, including video clips, at the webpage for the show, which premieres Thursday, January 23, at 9 p.m., 8 Central time.
