Takeda Books Recurring Role On Series Pilot for Lifetime

This month, TV/Film actor Scott Takeda begins shooting a recurring costar role in the series pilot “Secret Lives of Wives” for Warner Horizon Television. The is produced by Jill Gordon (‘My So Called Life’), Jennifer Gwartz (‘Veronica Mars’) and Dan Lin (‘Terminator Salvation’).

If picked up, the series will air on Lifetime, featuring intertwining stories of four close friends, and the ups and downs they go through with their marriages.

Producers are excited because the series hits a target audience similar to HBO’s “Sex and the City” which went off the air eight years ago and plays on current literary trends like “Fifty Shades of Grey.”

The series pilot stars Kim Raver (’24’), Salli Richardson-Whitfield (‘I Am Legend’), Valarie Cruz (‘Homeland’),  and Callum Blue (‘Dead Like Me’). Takeda recurs as Dr. Fung, an oncologist treating a life-threatening cancer for Cruz’ character.

Liz Friedlander (‘The Secret Circle’) directs the pilot which is based on the novel “Secret Lives of Wives” by best-selling author Iris Krasnow.

6/12/22 Update - The long-cancelled pilot has since been renamed “Two Weeks of Husbands” on IMDb.
