The CW, which has Reign in its second season, is developing another period drama with roots in Western Europe – The Illusionist, based on the 2006 movie starring Ed Norton. The project, which will change the setting from Vienna to New York, comes from Yari Film Group, the company that produced and distributed the film; Electus; and CBS TV Studios.

Written by Mark Hudis (True Blood), the CW adaptation will take place in turn-of-the-century New York. It centers on a renowned illusionist who returns home from a decade in prison to find his wife married to the ruthless crime boss who framed him. Posing as an underling in the crime boss’ organization, the illusionist uses cunning magic to pull off elaborate heists, rising quickly through the organization in order to take down the boss from the inside and win back his one true love.
