The CW Presents: The Selection

[Sawyer]

It's still early. This time last year, they weren't even saying anything about Beauty and the Beast, but come upfronts in May, they were like "Sure, why not?"

The royal Reign and The Selection are getting early praise for their visuals as both are filmed in Europe. (There was a production hiccup on Reign, chalked up to the long distance between Hollywood and Ireland where the pilot is filmed, which has been resolved.) But can CW pick up two projects about kings and queens? CW president Mark Pedowitz has long touted his idea for limited orders (Cult was the first series he ordered under that model). So if Reign and The Selection both pass muster, it is possible that they get limited-run orders to alternate in a “royal” time slot.

Not Going Forward

****ing CW, you just had to go get a better group of actors and a quality director to get me invested in this, didn't you?

Not surprised. I am only sad because ASH was in it.
