Category: Dead of Summer

There’s not a date yet, but “Dead of Summer” will be on air on Freeform this summer. Richard Hatem (one of the writers) wrote a very interesting post about the show on his facebook page.  😉

And meanwhile, I spend my days in the non-sexy part of Burbank working on “Dead of Summer” (which will be on Freeform sometime — this summer), and I can tell you we are all having a blast. The show was created by Eddy Kitsis & Adam Horowitz & Ian Goldberg, and it has all the fun and heart and flashbacks of “OUAT” — with the addition of some truly frightening supernatural overtones. The hours are great, the people I work with are nice and talented (and super funny, that’s important), and the stories are fun to write. It’s all character stuff, thank God. I don’t have to come up with a smart crime every week and then have an even smarter crime-fighter be super smart in outsmarting the smart criminals. I didn’t get into this line of work because I’m a genius. But writing scary sentimental stories about young people filled with hope and love and ghosts? Save me a chair…

This is just a quick update about “Dead of Summer”.

Filming starts on March 21.
