SPOILERTV ANNOUNCES STRAIGHT TO SERIES ORDER FOR HIDDEN ELEMENTS, KROSSOVER, THE EXPERIMENT, AND ZODIACS
TORONTO, CANADA (SEPTEMBER 11, 2016) - SpoilerTV today announced a straight-to-series order for four dramas. On top of the previously announced THE MARAUDERS ERA, SpoilerTV has given a series order to HIDDEN ELEMENTS, KROSSOVER, THE EXPERIMENT, and ZODIACS.
HIDDEN ELEMENTS is a cutting edge fantasy set in a universe of four worlds representing the elements of fire, water, earth, and air. The four protagonists represent the creatures that populate each respective world - fairies, nymphs, devils, and mermaids. One of them will be the source of all evil and one of them is destined to die. The series will be created, executive produced and written by iZombie_fan.
In THE EXPERIMENT 12 people wake up on a ship after their bus hit the water. They soon realize they have one thing in common: they had all signed up and were on their way to an extremely dangerous, yet high-rewarding experiment. Who put them on that ship? Where exactly are they headed? And most importantly, what experiment did they actually sign up for? The series will be created, executive produced and written by Daniel.
KROSSOVER brings to SpoilerTV a high concept, sci-fi drama about a special intelligence officer Darby Kross who is abducted on her wedding day. Nothing could prepare her for where she ends up - in an alternate universe! Waking up in a room that looks exactly like her own and with a family she never had, Darby begins to realize that she's not where she's suppose to be, or is she? The series will be created, executive produced and written by Darthlocke4.
Rounding out the straight-to-series nods is supernatural drama, ZODIACS.
Ages ago the mystical animal zodiacs were trapped in powerful crystals. A celestial event triggers the release of the spirits and they possess human beings giving their vessels powers. ZODIACS will centre around twin siblings, Milly and Milo, who contain the Gemini spirit and who are key to collecting the other spirits, while struggling with the difficulties of growing up. The series will be created, executive produced and written by Spindae2
HIDDEN ELEMENTS, KROSSOVER, THE EXPERIMENT, and ZODIACS join the previously announced THE MARAUDERS ERA.
Set during the first Wizarding War, THE MARAUDERS ERA follows the lives of James Potter, Lily Evans, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew and Severus Snape from their time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to the first downfall of Lord Voldemort.
THE MARAUDERS ERA, HIDDEN ELEMENTS, and KROSSOVER will go into production later this year and will premiere exclusively on SpoilerTV in the summer of 2017. THE EXPERIMENT and ZODIACS are expected to air during the fall of 2017.

Congratulations to those behind the five series that made the cut of over 50 pitches. Thank you to all participants, it was a wonderful experience reading all of the pitches. PIY will be back next year in the summer of 2017. Re-pitches are encouraged, especially those who received pilot orders, but just missed out on the top 5. Next year we aim to add a "comedy block" to give comedy pitches a fairer chance. See you all next year!
