The CW is developing Good Christian Bitches, an ensemble dramedy inspired by Kim Gatlin's novel per Deadline. If this sounds really familiar, it should, ABC ordered a season of the drama under the title GCB due to pressure from Christian and conservative organizations. The ABC series starred Kristin Chenoweth and Leslie Bibb.
The CW version hails from Leila Cohan-Miccio (Awkward, Telenovela and Netflix/Shondaland's upcoming Bridgerton series), Darren Star (Younger, 90210, Sex and the City), Aaron Kaplan's Kapital Entertainment, CBS TV Studios, and ABC Studios.
Good Christian Bitches follows the clergy and parishioners of Flock, a hip church plant in Austin where prayers and worship music cover up a multitude of sins and secrets.
Years later, Good Christian Bitches came up during a lunch between Kaplan and the CW president Mark Pedowitz where they lamented the missed opportunity GCB was, dropping the provocative title that was key part of its IP, with the CW boss indicating that his network would stick with the original title should it ever be developed there.
