Filming on the second season of Franklin & Bash, TNT’s buddy-lawyer series, has just begun with Breckin Meyer and Mark-Paul Gosselaar back in the lead roles. The network also revealed the 2012 season will feature guest starring appearances by Rick Fox, Eric Mabius, and Cybill Shepherd.
 
Season one of Franklin & Bash averaged more than 3.9 million viewers, which earned it a place on basic cable’s Top 10 new series of the summer list.
 
From TNT’s official press release:
 
In Franklin & Bash, Meyer plays Jared Franklin, who loves sticking it to authority every chance he gets. Gosselaar is Peter Bash, who has a knack for connecting with judge and jury. The series also stars Malcolm McDowell as Stanton Infeld, a Renaissance man and the patriarch of the law firm. Also starring are Dana Davis, Kumail Nanjiani, Reed Diamond and Garcelle Beauvais.
 
Three-time Golden Globe® winner Cybill Shepherd, Eric Mabius and Rick Fox will guest star in an episode of the upcoming season. In the episode, Peter and Jared will be assigned to defend one of Infeld’s many ex-wives. To do so, they will have to face off against Jango & Rossi, the B-list version of themselves.
 
Shepherd, whose extensive credits include the hit series Cybill and Moonlighting, is set to play Evanthia Steele, Infeld’s ex-wife, who is on trial for kidnapping a neglected dog. Mabius, who has starred in the series Ugly Betty, will play Rossi, the handsome, sexy half of Jango & Rossi. And Fox, a familiar face from the movie He Got Game will play Andre, a professional tennis player called in to testify in the dog-napping case.
