Nostalgia for the ’90s is big right now, and Freeform is looking to capitalize by ordering up a pilot episode for potential series “Last Summer,” set across three years in the 1990s.
The Wrap reports that the one-hour pilot comes from executive producers Jessica Biel, Bert V. Royal and Michelle Purple, described as an “unconventional thriller.”
“Last Summer” takes place over three summers–’93, ’94, ’95–in a small Texas town when a beautiful popular teen, Kate, is abducted and, seemingly unrelated, a girl, Jeanette, goes from being a sweet, awkward outlier to the most popular girl in town and, by ’95, the most despised person in America.
Each episode is told from the POV of one of the two main girls (Jeanette and Kate), which will have the viewers loyalties constantly shifting as more information is revealed.
Max Winkler will direct the pilot.
