GREAT news.
Today is a good day lads.
ABC is rebooting one of it’s most popular dramas from 2011-15 – Revenge.
WE’RE SO EXCITED.
The new project, which is in the very early stages of development, will focus on a Latinx lead character.
However, which characters from the first series will be involved remains to be seen. No actors have been attached or confirmed yet.
ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year that she was hoping to reboot some of ABC’s “brand-defining” shows.
That explains the reboot so.
“We’ll continue to lean into the female-forward but not male-repellent character dramas and comedies going forward,” she said.
“That means not necessarily female leads, but some entry point for our female audience, which is large.”
“I’m looking for some more disruptive ideas in terms of franchises, trying to harken back to what I think were some of the great brand-defining shows of ABC, which led narratively and were braver in their construct, shows like Lost, Desperate Housewives and Scandal. And also frankly, Black-ish and Fresh Off the Boat.”
We can’t wait!
