Get ready for some new shows on The CW next season!
THR reports that the network just greenlit Julie Plec‘s Cordon adaption and the Arrow/Flash spinoff, titled DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, PLUS Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
Cordon (from a Belgian series), centers on what happens when a deadly epidemic breaks out in Atlanta and a large city quarantine is quickly enforced, leaving those stuck on the inside to fight for their lives. It tells the story of loved ones tragically torn apart, and how the society that grows inside the cordon reveals both the devolution of humanity and the birth of unlikely heroes.
Here’s DC’s Legends of Tomorrow official summary: “When heroes alone are not enough … the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat – one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?”
ARE YOU EXCITED about these new shows coming to the CW?
Chris Wood is killing it right now!
According to Variety, the 26-year-old actor has just landed a role in the upcoming CW pilot Cordon, which is based on Carl Joos‘ original Belgian series.
Chris is set to play Jake, a former renegade turned cop, as the series follows “an epidemic that breaks out in Atlanta, leaving the large city quarantined and those stuck on the inside fighting for the lives.”
Chris is currently appearing as the villain witch Kai on The Vampire Diaries and you may remember him as Adam Weaver on the short-lived CW show The Carries Diaries.
Cordon will pair Chris back with his TVD executive producer Julie Plec, who penned the pilot.
More Julie Plec shows on The CW? Yes please!
According to THR, the network just ordered two pilot remakes, one of which will be run by The Vampire Diaries and Originals executive producer.
Cordon is a remake of Belgian series that “examines what happens when a deadly epidemic breaks out in Atlanta and a large city quarantine is quickly enforced, leaving those stuck on the inside to fight for their lives.”
The other show, Tales From the Darkside, based on the novel by Joe Hill, is described as a “reinvention of the horror/fantasy/thriller anthology and based on the 1980s series. Each episode will be completely different and contain at least one separate story, with new actors expected every hour – making it a true anthology in the vein of the original and other series including The Twilight Zone, and, more recently, Black Mirror.”
We can’t wait to see both shows!
