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

This has actually been posted about in the "Halloween night DS Cast Reunion - The Quarantine Theatre Company" topic because Gothick posted there about how the subject of the CW passing on the pilot came up during the reunion. And then shortly thereafter the TV Line article that the linked article you posted used as a source came out and I posted the link to it over there in that topic as a follow up. However, we don't really know when the CW ultimately completely passed on the project. We can assume it was back in December/January, but we can't know that for sure because, with the pandemic, the CW was still deciding the fates of projects long after that, so that doesn't necessarily mean that even the report that DS:R was still in development at the CW as late as back in May was wrong. By example, one of the CW's proposed series which also never made it to the pilot stage was only passed on a few months back. But be all that as it may, the project may be a goner as far as the CW is concerned, however, it doesn't seem as if it's a goner entirely because Gothick also shared that during the reunion Ansel Faraj made the claim the project is still being worked on. By whom and in what form? Who knows? Like everything else concerning the project after that initial announcement back in September of 2019, details are lacking. I mean, as far as that original deal goes, we don't even know if Mark Perry even completed a script.
