News Bites: The CW’s TCA Chatter on Supernatural, Amazon, Beauty & the Beast and The Selection and Showtime’s Frankenstein/Vampire Hunter Show

Sunday, January 13th, 2013

One of the TCA panels that we were waiting to see revolved around the CW. As we all know Supernatural fans are waiting to hear if they will continue to see the Brothers Winchester next year. Mark Pedowitz stated the following on the future of this long-running fan favorite:

“We are pleased with how Wednesday night has turned out, with Arrow being a bonafide hit and Supernatural actually gaining viewers again,” he said. “I think creatively the show is in a great place and there’s always a good shot.”

I think there is a good chance that this show will return because the WB has finalized deals with Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, but I think we should all pray to St. Jude when the CW makes their decision for a 9th season pick-up.

Regarding the freshman show Beauty and the Beast, Pedowitz went on to say:

“We’re very pleased with it creatively,” he said. “It’s on par with Secret Circle in terms of total viewers. Based on the passion of fans, we think we have something.”

This can mean anything because at the 11th hour of renewal decision time the Secret Circle was cancelled.

We also heard of some pilot potentials, first up was The Selection. If you recall, the pilot for the tv adaptation of the popular YA book series by Kiera Cass was given a pass, but the network asked for a retooling of the script. Pedowitz has read the new script and thinks that the script remains in contention for a possible series pick-up.

The CW is also at starting an origin story for Wonder Woman. Amazon‘s Diana is being cast as they await a final pilot script.

Showtime is entering the sci-fi genre with a straight to series show that is described as “a psychological horror drama series with literary underpinnings, including Dr. Frankenstein and his creature and is set in 1800′s London. No title yet for this series.

Spoiler Time: More Deets on the Upcoming Season of The Vampire Diaries

Monday, July 30th, 2012

Wow, by the time the season begins… we will practically know everything about the season…

Is this a good thing or a bad thing, I’m not sure, but here are a few more deets to satiate your need:

1. Alaric screwed the local vampires when he spilled the beans to the council, so there WILL be a dramatic death in the first episode.

2.As expected, Elena will feel torn between each brother’s perspective on how she should proceed in her indoctrination in to the Vampire world. Thus, these two being at odds, will impact her relationships with each of them.

3. Again, Klaus will be back in his body and he is planning to drive Tyler and Caroline apart. Not surprising!

Julie Plec stated the following:

“The finale wasn’t putting a final point on any relationship. If anything it was just creating a new beginning for all the relationships. Things are going to be evolving and changing for all points of all triangles on this show.”

4. Bonnie’s main goal, early on in the season, is to stop Elena from transitioning into a Vampire. Of course, we know that will not happen.

5. As we all know, there will be a vampire hunter in town, and he is “very hardcore, he’s very skilled he’s very strong. and they’re going to realize they’ve got a bigger problem than they’re used to.”

6. We will be learning of Esther’s backstory.

7. Stefan will not be getting a new love interest.

8. Damon will come to learn that Elena remembers that moment he compelled her to forget, but he will be give her attitude because she made her choice at the end of last season and he cannot forget that.

9. Stefan and Caroline will become BFFs.

10. Klaus storyline is intertwined with the vampire hunter’s story arc.

Stay tuned for more information…
