NEWS ROUNDUP: Alice Cooper To Make Cameo In Dark Shadows Movie, Siri, Darren Criss Sings Katy Perry

The network is on track to shell out more this development season than ever before and to outspend its rivals. The script and penalty portion of the annual buying season traditionally sets the major networks back a little more than $30 million, but sources at NBC tell THR that the network's outlay this summer and fall is closer to $40 million. Factor in pilots, and the nets invest about $100 million -- and that's before a single show is ordered to series.
