Summer Glau set to play in the 'Dollhouse'
'Firefly' and 'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles' co-star confirmed for a multi-episode reunion with Joss Whedon
Summer Glau
Summer Glau is set to join her "Firefly"/"Serenity" colleague Joss Whedon on the FOX drama "Dollhouse."
Sources at FOX have confirmed for HitFix the news -- first broken via Dollverse -- that Glau will appear in a multi-episode "Dollhouse" arc later this season.
We hear that Glau will play a character named Bennett who shares a past with Eliza Dushku's Echo and has a connection to another Dollhouse character.
Excited yet? How about this for a juicy kernel? We're told that Bennett works for a Dollhouse. Did you notice the key detail there? That would be *a* Dollhouse, not necessarily *the* Dollhouse that we've come to know and love. Then again, it totally could be *the* Dollhouse, but that wouldn't be as fun, now would it?
It's been a poorly kept secret that Whedon wanted to get Glau for a "Dollhouse" role and that he didn't want her to simply play a doll.
Exact specifics on when Glau will first appear (Dollverse says Episode 5) and for how long have yet to be formalized. She joins a growing list of Whedon veterans to drop by "Dollhouse," a group that includes Season One recurring player Amy Acker, season-closing guest star Alan Tudyk and Felicia Day, who appeared in Mysterious 13th Episode "Epitaph One."
Glau was most recently seen on FOX's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," which spent the spring paired with "Dollhouse" on FOX's Sci Fi (not SyFy) Friday. After two seasons of decreasing ratings (but much fan adoration), "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" was cancelled in May.
Other credits for Glau include "The 4400," "The Unit" and a cameo as "Summer Glau" on "The Big Bang Theory."
"Dollhouse" will have its second season premiere on FOX on Friday, Sept. 25.

Summer back in TSCC SEason 3.
I will be watching TSCC on my dvd player during Dollhouse's timeslot, except for Summer's episodes, maybe.
And Fox can go to hell
AJ I couldn't agree more. I refuse to watch Fox shows until they're on DVD (if they're good), and then I'll download them outta spite. Cancelling shows like Firefly and TSCC, yet keeping shows like Fringe and Dollhouse proves they consistently choose the opposite of what I want.
