FOX
Locke & KeyThe talent behind this production is insane . Stephen King ’s Word Joe Hill publish the dear amusing book mystery serial that inspired the show . Josh Friedman of Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles wrote the pilot film book , Mark Romanek ( Never Let Me Go ) is directing the pilot film . Nick Stahl has been sick in a lead function and Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are superintend the whole series as executive producers . AND YET , Deadlineis reporting that Fox is n’t 100 % betray on running the serial publication because they ’ve already filled their genre berth by renewing Fringe . With all of the fantasy - lite shows slated for this time of year we think it would be a shame to ignore the rich cloth supply in the comics . This is a deeply striking , riveting , puzzle - box of a book series , and it could really help elevate the Fall television slate . The premiss is simple : “ Three siblings and their mother move into their murdered Padre ’s family home base , where they key out a serial of supernatural key fruit , which give them extraordinary power . ” But the remuneration out behind each unlatched mystery is vast . The Daily Beastrecently read the pilot and key out it as :
nail-biting and riveting , this is a saturnine , supernatural drama that combine mystery , suspense , and military action into one hell of a sinister package . Fox may have a difficult time market the potential serial publication , give that the lead are mainly teens , but if they can pull out it off , the electronic web could have a good familiar for the likewise mythology - repel Fringe .
Fingers foil Fox visit the potential in this mysterious series .
AlcatrazLocke & Key is n’t the only bombinate - about drama catch the cold articulatio humeri from Fox . think it or not , J.J. Abrams unexampled clip bend show Alcatraz may not aerate this autumn ( agree toDeadline ) . With Fringe getting another season , Fox allegedly feels like they wo n’t burn any bridge circuit with Abrams , should they decide to ignore his pilot about a group of random Alcatraz captive that short just appear in modern time ( after having been miss for decennary ) . For more entropy on Alcatraz , check out ourprevious spot filled with spoiler and intimation .

TouchWith Alcatraz and Locke & Key on fragile trash , Fox had better desire their Tim Kring / Kiefer Sutherland serial Touch drums up and hearing , because all augury point to a green Christ Within for this show . Touch follows a father who fall upon that his autistic son can predict the future tense via act pattern his boy easily recognizes . The Daily Beast liken this archetype ’s handwriting to Kring ’s other hero with sweeping spheric plot with characters from all over the creation . We harmonise that this serial sounds profoundly challenging , here ’s hoping the “ autistic kid who stops a suicide submarine sandwich and connects to Irish vocalizer who meets a couple of Nipponese girls ” plotline pay off off . Lord knows we already stomached enough of the Heroes “ we are the human beings , we ’re all connected ” secret plan lines before .
CBS
Person of InterestBlanketed in secrecy , Person of Interest may just make us forgive Jim Caviezel for The Prisoner Written by Jonah Nolan and backed by J.J. Abrams , this precog offence mystery serial features Caviezel with Lost ’s notorious Michael Emerson ( who has been cast as a bright billionaire ) . Together these two squad up to prevent criminal offence before they happen . We have a standing principle around io9 that we will watch anything with Emerson , so count us in . Deadlinereports that it tested well but plays dark . And we like iniquity !
NBC

But thelatest batch of script rewritesseem to have changed the superhero Diana Prince for the better . As of right now , no one is saying anything about the project until it ’s shown the studio the first cut . But we ’ll regain out Wonder Woman ’s lot soon enough .

17th PrecinctRon Moore ’s next TV series drift a bunch of Battlestar Galactica alums , and add together a hyphen of urban fantasy !

Wilhelm Karl Grimm
funnily enough , while some citizenry are reporting that seventeenth Precinct does n’t seem to have a entreaty , the other magical cop show Grimm is make wave over at NBC . Written by Angel ’s David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf , this police procedural pulls its content right out of the Grimm Fairy Tale stories .
R.E.M.
Jason Isaacs ( Lucius Malfoy ) stars in this complicated parallel lives show . Isaacs plays Mark Britten , a fuzz who gets in a tragic accident . But from there , the storey fracture into two different realities for the character — in one dimension , his married woman give-up the ghost in the motorcar crash , leaving him alone to raise his Word . In the other reality , Britten ’s Word Rex died and now he and his married woman struggle with the loss of their tike . It ’s a perverted slight tale directed by David Slade . TDBsaid the pilot was , “ Hands down the most provocative and compelling pilot script of the season … Emotionally resonant and intellection - provoking , REM asks abstruse questions about the nature of realism and of ambition , pressure the viewer to face up the possibility that we might be sleepwalking through life story . ( Much like last summertime ’s Inception , in fact . ) Equal function mystery , psychological drama , and constabulary procedural , REM emerges as one of the development time of year ’s most compelling and creative offering . ”
ABC
PoePossibly our favorite ( and the most ridiculous premise ) buffer of the season . Edgar Allan Poe is a crime fighting poet in the 1840s . And accord to the rumors , it ’s ABC ’s favorite new series for the Fall .
Once Upon A TimeYet another pouf tale series . describe as give birth a “ recede tone with a Pushing Daisies look ” ( which voice absolutely nonsensical to us ) this series crams classic Disney characters like Snow White ( being play by Ginnifer Goodwin ) and other famous fairy folk into one village . Here ’s an excellent precis viaDaily Blam .
The series centers on a cleaning lady with a turbulent past times who is draw into a small town in Maine where the magic and whodunit of Fairy Tales just may be real .
Goodwin would play Snow White / Sister Mary Margaret who is a beautiful woman with disconsolate haircloth and very pallid skin who has been placed under a wicked spell by the Evil Queen , and is brought back from a living destruction by Prince Charming .
The River
Bruce Greenwood ( The Core ) and io9 favourite Joe Anderson ( Across the Universe , The Crazies ) have been shake off in Michael J. Green ( king ) ‘ The River . The documentary - style serial publication takes position on the Amazon River ( although it was in reality shot in Puerto Rico ) and follow a pack of phratry who head into the jungle looking for a missing TV reporter . Once they get into the wilderness they uncover something supernatural and stark evil . It sound like pure revulsion . Which would be nice alteration of pace from the surfeit of voice over dramas we ’ve been saddled with on goggle box .
Hallelujah
Desperate Housewives creator and writer Marc Cherry ’s new spiritual goop opera house is getting mixed reviews . specify in Hallelujah , Tenn. , the small township occupier ’ life are being ripped apart by a battle of good and evil . What we do eff is that Donal Logue has been honk in the series as a kind diner proprietor who is always battling the evil townspeople millionaire , take on by Terry O’Quinn .
The CW
The Secret Circle
Based on the serial publication by L. J. Smith it voice like the CW is trying to find their next Vampire Diaries series by film this secret magic in high spirits school dramatic event . As long as it pays respect to its magical CW predecessor Charmed , we ’re fine with this serial publication .
Heavenly
But not to be out done on supernatural soaps , the CW is adding yet ANOTHER occult drama to it ’s roll , Heavenly about a crew of Angelic attorney — no , seriously ! Plus it ’s supposedly getting a stiff response from viewers . Sure , why not ?
