After successfully rebooting Whose Line Is It Anyway last summer, the CW is looking to bring back another half-hour series this coming summer. The network has teamed with producers Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci and writer Joe Hill for Tales From The Darkside, a reinvention of the 1980s horror/fantasy/thriller anthology series by George A. Romero. Hill will write the project, which will keep the original series’ 30-minute format, for a summer run consideration. Hill, Kurtzman and Orci will executive produce with Heather Kadin, Mitch Galin and Jerry Golod for CBS TV Studios, where Kurtzman and Orci’s K/O Paper Products is based.

Seriously, first Murder she Wrote, then Ghost and now this…. What's next? Friends?
ReplyDeleteIs The CW going air new episodes every hour of every day next season? It seems like they keep announcing yet another new show.
ReplyDeleteI never watched before plus Stephen King's son is involved so I'm interested.
ReplyDeleteThis one is planned for summer.
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely no issue with reboots of anthologies like this or any others like Tales From the Crypt, The Hitchhiker, Gothic, The Outer Limits, The Hunger, or Masters of Horror.
ReplyDeleteIn fact I would say SyFy network could use a real sciFi anthology series!
