Casting calls went out for Hack's replacement. After a series of false commitments, Spelling and ABC selected model and former dance instructor Tanya Roberts, beating out Jayne Kennedy, Susie Coelho, and what Roberts skeptically called "the alleged 2,000 Angel candidates". Roberts debuted in the fifth-season premiere as Julie Rogers, a streetwise fighter and model from New York, but the season premiere episode drew mild ratings. She was pictured on the cover of "People" magazine and featured in an article surrounding the series. The article, titled "Is the Jiggle Up?", asked if Roberts could save "Charlie's Angels" from cancellation. Executive Brett Garwood stated, "We hope to keep the show going for next year, but nothing's certain."
