Joss Whedon has admitted that he is “not as depressed as everyone else” over the planned Dollhouse hiatus next month.
The show’s creator posted on his fansite Whedonesque.com: “Howzabout that schedule? Well, I’m not as depressed as everyone else. We weren’t about to rock sweeps anyway, and though there’s a chilly November, December is CRAZY (sic).”
He added: “It’s like an Advent calendar of episodes! We get November to try to spread the word (which I’ll be leaning on Fox to do, though it’s hard to imagine them doing as good a job as the WhyIWatch guy) and then December is pure gluttony.”
Things are not looking good for Dollhouse, as it has been confirmed that the show will go on hiatus this November.
Fox has previously promised to broadcast the remaining episodes in full, however these will now be aired back to back in December.
Miracle Laurie, who plays November on the show, wrote on her Twitter: “Trying not to be depressed. Get ANYONE you can convince to watch #Dollhouse LIVE this Fri, cuz we won’t be back till Dec. see ya then!”
No Dollhouse hasn’t been cancelled (yet) but Joss Whedon has admitted that he will be directing an episode of Glee in the upcoming season.
Glee boss Ryan Murphy gushed:
“Joss directed one of the great musical episodes in the history of television on Buffy,” gushes Murphy, “so this is a great, if unexpected, fit. I’m thrilled he’ll be loaning us his fantastic groundbreaking talent.”
The following is an excerpt from Whedon’s post on the fan site Whedonesque:

Fox has confirmed that it has no plans to cancel Dollhouse before it airs all thirteen episodes of its second season.
“We’re going to run all the episodes,” Fox scheduling head Preston Beckman told The Hollywood Reporter. “We’re not saying we’re happy with those numbers, or accept them, but we don’t have to overreact… We plan on completing the order for this show.”

Dollhouse returns to our screens for season 2 next month. The SciFi channel have rushed the season through and plan to premiere the first episode on the 20th of October.
Joss Whedon has revealed that Eliza Dushku is keen to try some Burlesque dancing for the new season of the show.
Speaking to SFX magazine, Whedon said:
“Eliza wants to be a burlesque dancer. We haven’t figured out how to put it in an episode yet but we are still trying! We had some burlesque dancers at the wrap party and she was like, ‘I want to do THAT!’ I was like, ‘OK, but everybody has to know it came from you’.”
Reaper star Ray Wise will be joining the cast of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.
Entertainment Weekly’s Aussielo Files, reports that Wise will portray Howard, a high-ranking Dollhouse official that has just as big of a sense of humor as his presence at the Dollhouse.
Terminator star, Summer Glau, will also be appearing on the second season of the show.
Those Terminator: Sarah Chronicle fans lamenting the axe of the sci-fi remake, can comfort themselves with the upcoming appearance of Summer Glau in Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.
EW.com reports that Glau will be part of a multi-episode story arc and is playing Bennett, a Dollhouse employee who shares a past with Echo (Eliza Dushku).
Glau played stunted and robotic very well in Terminator, no doubt she will do soulless and vacant well too.
Keith Carradine is a wanted man! Not only is he returning for season four of Dexter, as Special Agent Frank Lundy, but he’s also been signed for two episodes of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.
EW.com reports that Carradine will play a powerful businessman named Matthew Harding.
We all know that Dollhouse didn’t get off to quite the start Whedon wanted in season one. Will Carradine’s addition to the cast make you more likely to tune in for season two?
UK TV channel Sci Fi has announced that it plans to push forward the launch of the second season of Dollhouse, meaning it will air in the UK just weeks behind its US première.
The 13 episodes long series will launch on SciFi on Tuesday, October 20, starting with a double-bill premiere.
The show will also move to the more popular 10pm slot.
Dollhouse actress Eliza Dushku may look pretty and frail but she seems to repeatedly land very meaty TV roles. She puts her success down to advice she received from Arnold Schwarzenegger when they shot the movie True Lies together.
In an interview with FHM Eliza explained: “He said to me, ‘Just believe in yourself, know what you want in life and don’t stop until you get it.’
E! have released some fab footage of an interview with Dollhouse’s Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku. In the clip they talk about how excited they are to have made it to their second season (even though they took a substantial budget cut to get there), how they plan to change and evolve during this season and how they intend to snag some more viewers so they make it to season three.
