Variety has reported that The CW has ordered a pilot for “The Lost Boys,” based on the 1987 film of the same name.
The pilot will be written and executive produced by Heather Mitchell and appears to follow the same storyline as the cult classic.
Variety details, “It takes place in the seaside town of Santa Carla, home to a beautiful boardwalk, all the cotton candy you can eat, and a secret underworld of vampires. After the sudden death of their father, two brothers move to Santa Carla with their mother, who hopes to start anew in the town where she grew up. But the brothers find themselves drawn deeper and deeper into the seductive world of Santa Carla’s eternally beautiful and youthful undead.”
According to Deadline, the series was originally in development at the network back in 2016-2017 with Rob Thomas, but never went to pilot. Rob Thomas’s Spondoodle, Gulfstream TV and Warner Bros TV will produce the pilot.
