    A premiere date for “Dopesick”, also set to star John Hoogenakker, Philippa Soo, and Jake McDorman, has yet to be set.
    Rosario Dawson was last seen on the big screen last year with buddy comedy movie “Jay and Silent Bob Reboot” and post-apocalyptic comedy “Zombieland: Double Tap”. This year, she lent her voice to Wonder Woman in a direct-to-video animated superhero movie “Justice League Dark: Apokolips War”. She also starred in David Oyelowo’s directorial debut “The Water Man”.
    On TV, she joined the voice actors of Netflix’s animated series “The Last Kids on Earth” since last year. She also played a lead role on USA Network’s “Briarpatch”. She’s additionally tapped for the second season of “Star Wars” spin-off “The Mandalorian”.
    The actress previously revealed her dream roles. “The two universes, ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Star Wars.’ I get in those two, I’m telling you, man, that’s it. I will just retire,” she said. “And then I can just concentrate on going to school and running for office. That would be it.”

    AceShowbiz – Rosario Dawson’s new TV series “Briarpatch” has been cancelled after just one season.
    The anthology series ended its first season on USA Network in April (20) and now showrunner Andy Greenwald has confirmed the news it won’t be back.
    “Just wanted to let you know some disappointing news before you hear it from anyone else: Briarpatch isn’t returning for another season at USA,” he tweeted on Friday (17Jul20). “Though I’ve known for months, it’s still a bummer. We had an amazing story planned for S2 (season two) and I was lucky enough to work with the most amazing writers and crew, all of whom were itching to get back to work. I think we were going to do something special.”
    He went on to urge fans to keep watching the show on demand, adding, “If enough people keep checking the show out… anything’s possible.”
    “Briarpatch” was critically acclaimed but failed to set the ratings alight.
