Well, the CW has finally ordered two pilots, neither of which is
Dark Shadows: Reincarnation:
Female-Led Kung Fu Reboot, Former Sarah Drew Vehicle Get CW Pilot OrdersThe fact that DS:R is not among these two leads me to believe the CW may have some reservations about how the show is developing. However, that doesn't necessarily mean all is lost. Pilot development can often stretch over more than one season. Evidence of that is the fact that the article states:
"The Republic of Sarah, penned by Jeffrey Paul King (Elementary), was originally cast and piloted at CBS last spring, with Grey’s Anatomy doc Sarah Drew as the lead. The CW’s version tweaks the premise slightly"Though that doesn't necessarily mean there's no chance for this year (or at all). It really all depends. Particularly whether the CW really does have a problem or there's some other reason(s) for a delay in a decision.
If it really is a case that the CW may not like something, it may just be a case of can Amasia fix things this year or not (or at all) to bring things around to the CW's liking...
