At the CW upfronts today CW president Mark Pedowitz talked about The Selection and his hopes that it will make it on to the schedule by midseason.
The cast is expected to change, but the CW and The Selection studio Warner Bros. TV are looking to keep the lead, Friday Night Lights‘ Aimee Teegarden who got high marks. The project is being put on a fast track and, if it comes together, could join the CW’s schedule in midseason. “I truly believe that there is a series in The Selection,” CW president Mark Pedowitz said after the network’s upfront presentation today.
While the cast is expected to change, Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain who wrote the adaptation of Kiera Cass’ novels, are expected to remain on board. It is possible they will stray from the source material and use it more as a jumping off point, much like The Vampire Diaries has done.
What do you think they will need to do to The Selection to make it work on the small screen?
