Deadline reports that ABC has ordered two pilots, Queens by Zahir McGhee and Epic by Brigitte Hales.
More on Queens:
- From Deadline: “Queens follows four women, estranged and out-of-touch, in their 40s reunite for a chance to recapture their fame and regain the swagger they had as the Nasty Bitches – their ’90s group that made them legends in the hip-hop world.”
- The show will be written and directed by Zahir McGhee who has worked on shows like Scandal, Private Practice, and was also a consulting producer on Stumptown.
- ABC had given a production commitment to the show back in August last year.
More on Epic:
- From Deadline: “Epic is a romantic anthology series that reinvents fairy tales for a new audience. It is set in the fairytale universe of Disney and will center on a whole new set of new heroes, villains, princes, princesses and all manner of magical beings.”
- Brigitte Hales has been a writer and executive story editor for ABC’s Once Upon a Time. She is currently writing for Disney+’s Disenchanted, the sequel to the Disney film Enchanted.
- Epic is also being worked on by Once Upon a Time creators and executive producers Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz.
Both shows will be made under ABC Signature.
