Dark Shadows should still be made. Would be a great fit for Netflix. Gothica sounds good too

I was really excited about Dark Shadows. Bummed it wasn’t picked up.

Apparently I've been so consumed with doing things for NoDS' 50th that I totally missed this two days ago:

“Dark Shadows: Reincarnation” – Mark B. Perry Reveals the Sequel Series That May Still Come to Life [Phantom Limbs]

Finally, some of an idea of what we might expect!! Sounds intriguing...

I just checked my e-mail and Google Alerts are definitely slipping behind the times because I didn't receive an alert for Bloody Disgusting's Mark B. Perry article until 6:30pm last night, fours days after it had been posted. There was a time when alerts came in well under 24 hours of things being posted on the Internet, if not within a few hours...

Really a great story of pitching a TV show, and to have Dan Curtis' daughter as part of the story is really heartwarming. 

Wow!  So interesting - and it really sounds like it might still happen.  His background with the show and what is written here sounds very promising!!!

IF this happens, I might even watch the last DS episode! 

This isn't directly connected to DS:R - but it is directly connected to Mark Perry and his work on Revenge, which, as I've mentioned in an earlier post, we should only be so lucky DS:R gets to be plotted as intricately and brilliantly if it should ever come to be...

‘Revenge’ 10 Years Later: Creator Mike Kelley Reflects on Reviving the Primetime Soap

i do hope this sequel show is made i hadn't heard anything about it since before Covid Hit to be honest. i just assumed it was still in Development and still in finding the right script to use but that's my own guess cause last i heard the CW was gonna do it

It's quite interesting how often in the past few years the CW has spent years developing something only to decide not to move forward with it. Just the latest:

The 100 Prequel Not Moving Forward at The CW, After 2 Years in Development

If you have any interest in the DS:R project, you definitely need to check this out:

Terror at Collinwood Episode 20: Dark Shadows: Reincarnation with Mark B. Perry

I haven't finished watching the whole thing yet, but it's filled with very interesting info about what this show could be and PennyDreadful certainly asks the questions we would all ask...

Inside Line: Scoop
(Scroll down to the 18th question.)

Seemingly the person answering the question isn't aware that the project is still active and there are still hopes for it to find a home. But then, the person asking about it probably should have framed their question that way. If so, they may have gotten a better answer...

Mark B. Perry?
What has he have to do with DS?
Will there be a reboot?

Inquiring minds want to know, and even I am also.

Thank you!

‘Dark Shadows’ Gets New Blood With Sequel Series In the Works At the CW From Writer Mark B. Perry

Is it old news resurfacing? Seems odd that there would have even been that 2019 attempt, since they already had a failed pilot in the early 2000’s  . . .  CW is the same as The WB right? 

I think I’d prefer an inspired by effort rather than a continuation or a reboot.  Not that I didn’t really enjoy 1991  . . . It is just reboot fatigue and fears about botching up something.
