CBS has optioned a pilot order for a stalker series from Kevin Williamson. Williamson who wrote the Scream films, The Following, and more is no stranger to horror thrillers and is a welcome addition to CBS TV and the genre is really hot right now. Read on for more information on the project.
Deadline is reporting, CBS is officially in the Kevin Williamson business. The network has given a pilot order to an untitled drama from The Following creator, Warner Bros. TV and Williamson’s studio-based Outerbanks Entertainment.
Written and executive produced by Williamson, the psychological thriller centers around a pair of detectives who handle stalking incidents for the Threat Management Unit of the LAPD. The project was quietly sold months ago and had stayed largely under the radar before starting to pick up heat in the past few weeks. Scream writer and Dawson’s Creek creator Williamson has a very strong track record, with all of his pilots for WBTV going to series, including The Vampire Diaries at the CW and The Following at Fox.
