•• Virginia Madsen has landed a guest-starring role as a potential love interest for Gregson. A new woman in Captain Gregson’s (Aidan Quinn) life will be introduced in an upcoming episode of “Elementary.”

The Sideways star will play Paige Cowen, a former NYPD detective involved in a budding relationship with Gregson (Aidan Quinn). Due to a scandal that forced her off the force, she’s been eager to protect Gregson by keeping their relationship under wraps.

Virginia Madsen, whose TV credits include Witches of East End and Hatfields & McCoys, will appear in an episode slated for early spring. Virginia Madsen isn’t the only new face that fans will meet when “Elementary” continues its season 4 run this week following a short winter break. As previously reported, viewers will also meet Joan’s (Lucy Liu) stepfather, which will be played by “Home Alone” actor John Heard, and Fiona Helbron (Betty Gilpin), who will be introduced as a potential love interest for Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) on the Jan. 21 episode of the show.

Elementary returns Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.

•• Monterey Media has bought all U.S. and Canadian rights to Kaley Cuoco’s “Burning Bodhi,” two weeks after its world premiere at the Austin Film Festival, Variety has learned exclusively.

The drama, directed by Matthew McDuffie from his own script, is produced by Marshall Bear. In addition to “The Big Bang Theory” actress, it also stars Sasha Pieterse (“Pretty Little Liars”), Cody Horn, Virginia Madsen, Landon Liboiron and Andy Buckley.

“Burning Bodhi” centers on a group of lifelong friends who return to their hometown in New Mexico after word spreads on Facebook about the death of the most popular person in their group. The reunion stirs up feelings of love, longing and regret, intertwined with the novelty of forgiveness, mortality and gratitude.

Monterey plans a theatrical launch in March. The deal was negotiated with Bear and his representative Noor Ahmed of Reder and Feig LLP, and attorney Chad Mathis with Monterey Media’s Scott Mansfield.
