Ariel Winter to Replace Demi Lovato in NBC Comedy ‘Hungry’

Update, Monday, March 7 at 6:55 p.m.: Winter is coming. Per Deadline, Modern Family’s Ariel Winter will replace Demi Lovato as the star in NBC’s upcoming comedy series Hungry. Lovato previously stepped down from the show due to scheduling reasons, but will remain involved in the project as an executive producer alongside their manager Scooter Braun. The quick recasting will help the pilot stay on schedule, with a table read reportedly happening on Tuesday. Written by Suzanne Martin and directed by James Burrows, the show is still set to follow friends who meet in a food-issues group and together search for “the perfect thing in the fridge that’s going to make it all better.”
