Allison DuBois may return to our TV screens earlier than expected. NBC has ordered three more scripts of the psychic drama Medium and has told the production staff of the series to be on call to kick things off earlier than usual.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the midseason drama typically joins NBC's schedule during the winter, but the production has been told to be ready to go on the air earlier than expected, which means the series might join the network's lineup sometime before the end of the year.

Last week, we reported that Medium star Patricia Arquette had decided to skip this year's Golden Globe Awards in light of the ongoing writers' strike. Since then, the awarding ceremonies have been called off anyway, along with the glitzy and star-studded afterparties that follow.
"I'm so glad I didn't have to worry about a dress," Arquette, herself one of the nominees, said in an interview with NBC News. The actress joked that she'd be just as happy to be in sweats, sitting on her couch, watching last night's considerably downsized awards telecast.

Patricia Arquette recently gushed to the Roanoke Times about working with Academy Award-winning actress Anjelica Huston on NBC's supernatural series, Medium. Apparently, the feeling has been mutual, as Huston also sang praises for Arquette in an interview posted on the show's official website.
“I think she's a luminous presence. She's very beautiful [and] very kind,” Huston, who will appear in six episodes of Medium's new season, said. “I'm a bit of a neophyte here… sometimes it's scary because you have a lot of lines thrown at you in a very short notice its new for me this way of working in that films usually go a lot slower. I'm mostly a movie-trained actress… [Patricia Arquette has] been very calming and sweet and she's sort of held my hand through [the] first days, so I really appreciate that.”

The fourth season of Medium kicks off in January, with renowned actress Anjelica Huston appearing as a guest star. Show lead Patricia Arquette only had good things to say about working alongside the 56-year-old Academy Award winner.
“It was really thrilling to work with her,” Arquette said of Huston, who will appear in six episodes of Medium's new season, in response to a query posed by the Roanoke Times. “She is an amazing actress, and it was a really great experience to have her on set.”
Huston's multi-episode arc is not the only thing fans of Medium can look forward to this season. Although the WGA strike has put the entire cast and crew out of work temporarily, Arquette said that viewers will be happy with this season, as the writers were able to draw up many “interesting twists” for the show.
