ABC Family on Wednesday announced casting for its new, as-yet-untitled series from 7th Heaven creator Brenda Hampton (which, in case you're curious, is currently referred to as the "Untitled Brenda Hampton Project"). Not only has the show signed on Smallville's John Schneider (Jonathan Kent) and Oz's Ernie Hudson (Leo Glynn), but also the former Sixteen-year-old America loved, Molly Ringwald.

The series, to air this summer, will be a one-hour drama that — as Ausiello previously reported — centers on a family and their friends after 15-year-old Amy Nicholson becomes unexpectedly pregnancy (no, Diablo Cody is not signed on). The show's recurring cast members will also include newcomer Shailene Woodley (previously seen on The O.C.), Camille Winbush (The Bernie Mac Show) and Allen Evangelista (Zoey 101).

How exciting will it be to see these new cast additions together? We'll have to wait for the drama to unfold. — Anna Dimond

I love everything about the sound of it EXCEPT the fact that Brenda Hampton, the Ed Wood of showrunning, has anything whatsoever to do with it.

OTOH, it could be worse (barely) -- Laeta "Bionic Woman 2.0" Kalogridis could be the showrunner.

I have to say, the cast excites me, but producer, not so much.

I'll check it out. We'll see.
