‘Fables’ comic adaptation gets pilot order from ABC
Say what you will about network TV, but if any network can pull off this project, it’s ABC. They just put in a pilot order for a TV series based on the comic book series Fables. Six Degrees execs Stu Zicherman and Raven Metzner will write the pilot for the hour-long.
Hollywood Reporter had this to say:
Zicherman and Metzner wouldn’t elaborate which fairy tale characters will be featured in the TV series, but noted that Big Bad Wolf and Snow White, who are central to the comics, will have a similar role on the show.
The comic book series’ first storyline followed Fabletown’s sheriff, a reformed and pardoned Big Bad Wolf, who investigates the murder of Snow White’s party-girl sister, Rose Red.
Hopefully, this is a Heroes killer. Wait. I take that back. I’m just hoping this sticks around for more than one season. This sounds like it has the potential to become a great TV show that no one watches.
