Jason Dohring and Shannyn Sossamon are about to return to the small screen.  After playing Josef Kostan and Coraline Duvall on the vampire series Moonlight respectively, the former co-stars are now headed to HBO to work on separate projects.

Dohring, who first catapulted to stardom as rich kid Logan Echolls, Kristen Bell's on-screen love interest on the cult series Veronica Mars, has joined the cast of Washingtonienne, the cable's pilot from Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker.  Loosely based on Jessica Cutler's book, the comedy follows the professional and personal lives of three young women working on the Hill.

Rachael Taylor (Transformers, Headland,The Mystery of Natalie Wood), Amanda Walsh (Disturbia, Sons & Daughters, The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past) and Bitsie Tulloch (Quarterlife, Lonelygirl15) have landed the female leads in Washingtonienne, while the Moonlight actor has signed on to play Spencer, a senior legislative aide in the Senate office where lead character Jackie (Rachael Taylor) works.

Sossamon, on the other hand, will be joining the cast of How to Make It in America, the latest project from Mark Wahlberg's production company, also known as the Entourage team.  The comedy pilot reveals how to achieve the American dream with stars Bryan Greenberg (October Road, One Tree Hill, Escape) and Victor Rasuk (Life Is Hot in Cracktown, Spinning Into Butter, Lords of Dogtown) as two budding entrepreneurs trying to climb the corporate ladder in New York.

"This show is a fun ride through the downtown scene, examining the cross section of people and how they relate to the relevant subcultures in NYC," Entourage producer Rob Weiss, who is executive producing the pilot, told the Hollywood Reporter.

Meanwhile, details on Sossamon's role are scant at the moment.  Apart from Moonlight, Sossamon's recent credits include The Holiday, One Missed Call and a recurring part on FX's Dirt.
