Joshua Jackson has been cast in "How to Survive Without Me," an HBO Max drama pilot from Greg Berlanti and Bash Doran.

The official logline for the project reads, "In the wake of matriarch Beverly's passing, the De Angelis family have begun to drift, unsure how to manage their complicated, evolving lives without her guidance, but in true Beverly fashion, she found a way to keep running the show from the beyond. Should they wish to experience Beverly's final work, the family must find the time — and make the effort — to remain connected, and be there for each other through all of life's challenges yet to come."

Jackson will play Cooper, "a chef about to open a members dining club in Los Angeles" who "is literally carrying forward his mother's recipes and approach to food. He presents as confident and a player, but he's suffering in silence — keeping a secret that could destroy both his lifelong friendships and the culinary career he's built in is mother's honor."

He joins previously announced star Ray Romano, who plays Leo, "newly a widower and suddenly performing the lead role of parent that he never auditioned for. As his five, complicated adult children begin to navigate life without their mother at the center, Leo is forced to find his own voice as a parent, moving out of wife's shadow to become the family's new, differently effective center."

Jackson, best known for roles in "Dawson's Creek," "Fringe," "Dr. Death" and more, is repped by CAA, Anonymous Content, Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox and Imprint. 

The story for "How to Survive Without Me" is by Berlanti, Doran and Robbie Rogers, with Berlanti and Doran writing the project. Berlanti, Rogers, Sarah Schechter and Leigh London Redman executive produce for Berlanti Productions through the company's overall deal at Warner Bros. Television, which serves as the studio on the project. Doran also executive produces.

{allcanada} Draisaitl named Germany’s flag bearer for opening ceremony ahead of Olympic debut

MILAN (AP) — Edmonton Oilers center Leon Draisaitl was named Wednesday as one of Germany's flagbearers for the Milan Cortina opening ceremony in a sign of recognition for one of the NHL's biggest stars as the league returns to the Winter Olympics.

In a rare honor for a first-time Olympian, Draisaitl and ski jumper Katharina Schmid will carry the German flag in Friday's ceremony after they won both an internal poll of German athletes and a public vote. More than 135,000 people took part, the German Olympic committee said.

Draisaitl's opponents in the vote for male flagbearer were Tobias Wendl, who has won six career Olympic gold medals in luge since 2014, winning every Olympic event he's entered, and Nordic combined skier Johannes Rydzek, who's heading into his fifth Olympics and won two gold medals in 2018.

When it shortlisted Draisaitl for the vote, the German Olympic committee said its criteria for a flagbearer included a history of sporting success and being a popular role model for fairness in sports.

The main ceremony is in Milan. There will be other ceremonies and athlete parades in the Italian cities of Predazzo, Livigno and Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Schmid is heading into her fourth Olympics and won silver medals in 2018 and 2022. She will carry the German flag in Predazzo and Draisaitl will be in Milan.

The last time the NHL took part in the Winter Olympics in 2014, Draisaitl was an 18-year-old playing junior hockey in Canada. He was drafted by the Oilers later that year.

Draisaitl was the NHL MVP in the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 season, when he led the league in scoring with 110 points. He was the leading goal-scorer last season before he and longtime teammate Connor McDavid helped Edmonton make a second consecutive trip to the Stanley Cup Final.

{allcanada} Maccelli scores 2 as Maple Leafs beat Oilers 5-2, head into Olympic break with 3 straight wins

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) Matias Maccelli scored twice and the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 on Tuesday night.

Matthew Knies added a goal and an assist for Toronto (27-21-9). John Tavares scored his 20th of the season and Bobby McMann added an empty-netter.

Anthony Stolarz stopped 34 of the 36 shots he faced for the Maple Leafs, including a diving stop on Leon Draisaitl that prevent the Edmonton from getting back into the game in the final minutes of the third period.

Jake Walman and Kasperi Kapanen scored for the Oilers (28-20-9), who have lost two straight. Connor Ingram made 22 saves.

Toronto was coming off a 4-2 victory over the Flames in Calgary on Monday, and heads into the Olympic break with a three-game winning streak.

Kapanen tied the score at 2 early in the third period, but a pair of penalties proved to be Edmonton's undoing. Rookie winger Matthew Savoie was sent off for interference, and Mattias Janmark joined him seconds later on a high-sticking infraction. Maccelli scored just under a minute into Toronto's 5-on-3 advantage and Tavares swiped a shot in from the side of the net on the power play to give Toronto a 3-2 lead at the 7:42 mark of the third period.

Toronto went 2 for 2 on the power play, while Edmonton failed to score on its only man-advantage chance of the game.

Maple Leafs: Off for the Olympic break and at Tampa Bay on Feb. 25.

Oilers: At Calgary on Wednesday.
