CW NEW Shows
The CW has ordered three pilots, including one called iZombie from Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas and his frequent collaborator Diane Rugierro. The project is based on the DC Comics series of the same name and follows a med student who becomes a zombie and takes a job at the coroner's office in order to be in close proximity to her new food source.
The network also handed a pilot order to Jane the Virgin, which sounds so awful I don't even want to talk about it, but I will. The potential series is adapted from what I'm told is a successful Venezuelan telenovela called Juana La Virgen. It's about a young girl who is accidentally artificially inseminated. And it sounds terrible. Not just the pilot, but the entire thing in general.
Lastly, The CW has also ordered a pilot called Identity, and it's so ridiculous that I have to let the official logline tell you what it's about: "When a young woman in need of a transplant learns she is related to a powerful family whose son is her only hope for a donor organ, the CIA approaches her to investigate the family’s involvement in domestic terrorism and to infiltrate their rarefied world. Her loyalty, morality, and ethics are tested as she’s forced to slowly build a case against the family who saved her life.”
