CBS Eyeing Charmed Reboot: Magical or Madenning? Take Our Poll!
BY MICHAEL SLEZAK

CBS knows witch way it’s headed this pilot season.

The network has ordered a pilot script for a reboot of Charmed, the long-running, magical-sisters drama that ended in 2006 after eight seasons on The WB.

According to Vulture, which broke the news, the project will be written by Chris Keyser (executive producer, Party of Five and Lone Star) and partner Syndey Sidner, and will reimagine the Aaron Spelling series that starred Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs and Shannen Doherty (who was replaced by Rose McGowan at the end of Season 3).

If Charmed gets ordered to series, it would join Lifetime’s similarly themed Witches of East End — which also follows a sisterhood of spellcasters fighting against evil — as well as FX’s current American Horror Story: Coven, The CW’s The Vampire Diaries and Fox’s Sleepy Hollow as hit shows prominently featuring sorceresses in their plots.

No one was asking for this, CBS. Mainly because the (fairly recent) original series wasn't that great.

Isn't there already a witch show on Lifetime or something that just started?

 

[Donut]

I guess these channels want Witches on the rise

Witches of East End. I don't know how it compares to Charmed though.

Apparently it is the second most watched series on Netflix.

NBC's Fridays are better than their Thursdays. Dateline, Grimm and Dracula pulled in bigger ratings and viewers than a re-run of The Voice, Sean Saves The World, The Michael J. Fox show and Parenthood.

Does NBC give up entirely on comedies on Thursday and replace them with Celebrity Apprentice and a drama?

Maybe NBC can use Thursday Nights as a second "Football Night in America"

Dads just got another 9 episode order. That MacFarlane clout.

Which unfortunately means that Brooklyn Nine-Nine is stuck with that ****ty ass lead in for the entire year.

The Client List - Cancelled

 

[wiegeabo]

Oh holy ****. My brain read that as The Blacklist and promptly just about had a freak out.

 

[Teelie]

I thought The Blacklist already had a renewal. If it hasn't yet it should be incoming soon.

 

[wiegeabo]

That was the reason for the freak out. Cause it's a ratings hit. made no sense

 

[rashad]

I thought The Blacklist already had a renewal. If it hasn't yet it should be incoming soon.

The Blacklist recently had an order for a full season. It's certain to be renewed though.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Didn't know where else to put this but it made me happy. Got to meet Charlie Murphy from Chappelle's Show last night at the Tampa Improv. He was hilarious, real cool guy too

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

That's pretty cool.

 

[jaymes_e06]

You lucky bastard.

DEADLINE:

Laura Ramsey, Craig Horner & Sarah Goldberg To Topline VH1 Pilot ‘Hindsight’

EXCLUSIVE: Laura Ramsey, Legend Of The Seeker star Craig Horner and Sarah Goldberg have been cast in the three lead roles in Hindsight, VH1′s drama pilot written by Emily Fox and directed by Michael Trim. It centers on Becca (Ramsey) who, as she nears 40, is about to embark on her second wedding to Andy Kelly, but her joy is tempered by the absence of her old best friend Lolly (Goldberg) who’s a no-show, having dropped out of their relationship years ago. As Becca mulls over her past with Lolly and the mishap of her marriage to her first husband, Sean (Horner), she wakes up on her wedding day and discovers that it’s 15 years in the past – she’s about to marry Sean, her own parents are still married, and Lolly is still in her life. Becca must now decide to either go ahead with her marriage to Sean and watch the years play out as they have before, or chuck it all and try for a re-do of the history of her life that’s still in the future. Fox is exec producing with Carl Beverly, Sarah Timberman, Maggie Malina and VH1′s Susan Levison and Jill Holmes. Horner, repped by APA and Untitled, was seen in the feature See No Evil.

VH1 is now doing original dramas? Could have a slight Walter White vibe with someone trying to feel alive.

Amazon’s First Original Comedy Series Get Premiere Dates

Comedies Alpha House and Betas, coincidentally named after the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, will debut on Amazon on November 15 and November 22, respectively. The first three of each series’ 11 episodes will be available to all Amazon customers for free. After that, one episode of each show will become available weekly on Amazon’s subscription service Prime Instant Video. “We’re constantly experimenting and trying new things—and we’re eager to hear customers’ feedback on this model,” said Roy Price, Director of Amazon Studios.

Alpha House, written by Garry Trudeau and produced by Trudeau, Elliot Webb and Jonathan Alter, revolves around four misfit senators (John Goodman, Clark Johnson, Matt Malloy and Mark Consuelos) who rent a house together in Washington DC. The four are joined by Cynthia Nixon, Amy Sedaris, Wanda Sykes, and Julie White.

Set in the land of Silicon Valley start-ups, Betas, written by Evan Endicott and Josh Stoddard, follows four friends as they attempt to strike it rich with a new mobile social networking app. Joe Dinicol, Karan Soni, Jon Daly, Charlie Saxton, and Maya Erskine star in the show, with special appearances from Ed Begley Jr. Michael Lehmann directs and produces the show along with Alan Freedland and Alan Cohen and Michael London.

I found the Alpha House pilot to be terrible minus the Bill Murray cameo (that he does instead of Parks and Recreation or Community?!) but with female castmembers added to the show I'll check it out again.

Nahnatchka Khan, Nat Faxon & Jim Rash’s Comedy ‘Fatrick’ Gets Pilot Order At Fox
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

Fatrick was one of the first big sales this season, landing a pilot production commitment at Fox in early August. Now the comedy, written by Don’t Trust The B—- At Apt. 23 creator/executive producer Nahnatchka Khan and co-exec producer Corey Nickerson and to be directed by Oscar-winning scribes Nat Faxon & Jim Rash (The Descendants), has received an early pilot order. Produced by 20th TV, where Khan is under an overall deal, Fatrick centers on Patrick, a 30-something moving man and formerly fat kid, who, realizing that his life isn’t quite where it should be, is forced to face the damage caused by years of being Fatrick: a chubby little kid just trying to survive. The project, which will be shifting between the present and Patrick’s school years, will mark Faxon and Rash’s TV directorial debut. Fatrick is one of two high-profile single-camera comedy projects with pilot production commitments this season that focus on a formerly fat protagonist. NBC’s female-centered Formerly Fat Girl, from Jason Katims’ True Jack Prods., is written by J.J. Philbin loosely inspired by a book. Khan also has immigrant comedy project Fresh Off The Boat, which she is writing as well as executive producing with Jake Kasdan, at ABC with a put pilot commitment.
