Current Talk '24 I / Re: **‘Dark Shadows’ Gets New Blood As CW, Warner Bros Television Set Pilot Script Deal**

I do have to say it's a bit frustrating that here we are exactly one year after the pilot deal announcement, which was made with great fanfare and which generated a great deal of attention, particularly on sites like TV Line (where for several days it remained their most commented on article), and we basically don't know any more info than we received in the announcement from Mark B Perry. There's hold things close to the vest and then there's complete and total radio silence. If it wasn't for the occasional tidbit that the project is still in development, the latest of which we received via the Saturday Evening Post article that I posted a link to the other day -
- we wouldn't have heard anything over the past year. And that seems odd given the fanfare and the online support the project would seem to have. But who knows, apparently TPTB are keeping tight lipped for whatever good reason(s) they may have and despite how odd it may seem to us. Though having a good deal of the development occur during a pandemic most probably doesn't help...

Since the fall of 2019, Warner Bros. Television and The CW have been developing a sequel to the original series, tentatively titled Dark Shadows: Reincarnation. Dan Curtis passed in 2006, but his daughters Tracy and Cathy hold the rights to the series and are involved in the production of the potential new version.
