The CW is developing “Midnighters”, a drama with a really interesting spin that’s based on the Alloy sci-fi/fantasy book series by Scott Westerfeld, Deadline reports.
Penned by Blindspot co-executive producer Chris Pozzebon, in the CW’s “Midnighters”…
“On their 29th birthday, an estranged brother and sister discover they’re Midnighters, a chosen few born at the stroke of midnight, with access to a magical 25th hour each day that their kind can use to dramatic, comedic and poignant advantage. Ultimately, they learn their destiny is to protect the world from an ancient evil that has been trapped inside the 25th hour for centuries and is about to break free.”
Westerfeld’s “Midnighters” series is comprised of three books; “The Secret Hour” (published in 2004), “Touching Darkness” (2005) and “Blue Noon” (2006).
The adaptation hails from Pozzebon, creator/executive producer Martin Gero and studio Warner Bros. TV as well as Warner Bros.-owned Alloy Entertainment.
