[TV] “Tales From the Darkside” Pilot Ordered
After being announced way back in 2013, the CW has officially picked up its first two pilots of the 2015-16 cycle, handing orders to a reinvention of “Tales From the Darkside” and a project from “The Originals” and “Vampire Diaries” showrunner Julie Plec, says Variety.
“Tales From the Darkside” is a reboot of fantasy-thriller anthology series from the 1980s. Joe Hill (“Horns,” “Locke & Key”) wrote the pilot script and exec produces for CBS TV Studios with Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Heather Kadin, as well as Mitch Galin and Jerry Golod.
“Cordon” revolves around an epidemic that breaks out in Atlanta, leaving some people stuck on the outside of a large city quarantine. It’s based on a Belgian series.
The bad news is that it’s a CW show, although I don’t wanna dog on it until I see “iZombie”. It’s also good to note that this is a pilot order and does not guarantee a series, although it would be wonderful to see a new anthology back on television… even if it is CW.
“Tales From The Darkside” was created by George A. Romero. The pilot for the series aired back in 1983, with it running from ’84-’88.
