Does CW hate horror…or just all of their horror pilots?
Sad news in horror land, especially if you’re a big fan of “iZombie”.
According to Deadline, CW is passing on pretty much everything horror related, even though they just picked up a second season of the undead procedural.
This morning they let the Joe Hill-scriped “Tales From the Darkside” hit the bricks, while it’s now being reported “Cheerleader Death Squad” was nixed.
“Cheerleader Death Squad” was from “Desperate Housewives” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” producers Marc Cherry, Neal Baer, Dan Truly and Sabrina Wind.
The one-hour pilot followed a former CIA agent-turned-teacher who realizes that his elite students at a Washington, D.C., prep school have high level access through their personal connections — and trains them to be his eyes and ears in the world of international espionage so he can make his way back into the CIA.
Even worse, the site also believes “Dead People” is next on the list. “Dead People” is from “Californication” creator Tom Kapinos and J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot.
Written/executive produced by Kapinos, “Dead People” centers on a down-on-his-luck, semi-alcoholic but roguishly charming cab driver. After a near-death experience, he suddenly has the ability to interact with ghosts, including his late ex-wife who he has never gotten over.
