"Tobey Maguire and Kristen Wiig have been cast in Will Ferrell&amp;#039;s IFC series The Spoils of Babylon. The Spoils of Babylon is to be a six-episode miniseries produced by Ferrell and Adam McKay as a parody of melodramatic series like The Thorn Birds.   Ferrell will star in the comedy as fictional author Eric Jonrosh, whose novel centres on the drama surrounding the lives of the wealthy Morehouse family. Maguire will be playing the adopted son of an infamous magnate named Jonas Morehouse, while Wiig has been cast in the role of Jonas&amp;#039;s biological daughter. The Spoils of Babylon joins Devon (Maguire) and Cynthia (Wiig) as they struggle to fight their feelings for each other while carrying on their father&amp;#039;s dirty business dealings with the Shah of Iran (also played by Ferrell). Ferrell&amp;#039;s Casa de mi Padre director Matt Piedmont will helm the miniseries from a script written by Saturday Night Live&amp;#039;s Andrew Steele. An airdate for The Spoils of Babylon has not yet been announced, according to Deadline. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
