LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- British actress Charity Wakefield has been cast in "Legally Mad," David E. Kelley's new NBC drama series, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Kelley is the creator of "Ally McBeal," "The Practice" and "Boston Legal."

Wakefield was recently seen in a small-screen adaptation of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility," which aired in the United States on PBS.

The Hollywood Reporter said former "Homicide" star Jon Seda has also signed up for a role in the new series, alongside the previously announced Kristin Chenoweth, whose television credits include "The West Wing" and "Pushing Daisies."
