Clementine was to be produced by Sony Pictures Television for ABC but was abandoned when the network did not include in its new season lineup, announced in May.
The network, however, has confirmed it has extended the options on the cast - meaning they are being contractually held to the project, rather than released to find work elsewhere.
ABC is now considering Clementine as a "summer series", following a trend established by rival CBS which has launched two hit summer series in the last two years, last year's Under The Dome and this year's Extant.
Though summer programming has been historically focused on the reality genre, CBS's experiment with Under The Dome proved there was a big audience for scripted genre programs which have been previously used as autumn ("fall season") premieres.
