The project, from WBTV and Reveille, is about two sisters (Griffiths, Hagner) coming of age and facing off against one another amidst the beginning of a zombie uprising.
Brothers & Sisters alumna Emily VanCamp is returning to ABC as the star of a potential new primetime drama, Revenge. VanCamp has landed the lead in the project, written by Swingtown creator Mike Kelley and to be directed by Phillip Noyce. It is a contemporary re-imagining of The Count of Monte Cristo from a female perspective and centers on Emily Thorn (Van Camp), a mysterious woman who comes to the Hamptons to exact revenge on the people who destroyed her family. VanCamp, who joined Brothers & Sisters midway through the first season, left the family drama last fall.

Certainly no good news for Lights Out. And in my opinion also a rapid decline for Hagner going from a quality show like Lights Out to something like Awakening, a show that already sounds unintentionally more hilarious than most sitcoms do.
ReplyDeleteWith Lights Out possibly canceled, Lily Pilblad should be free for Fringe.
