The CW Leaves Their Planned 'Dark Shadows' TV Series in a Pile of Ashes.

Honestly, this would have been pretty entertaining.

For those who didn't know, The Collins family was set to make a big return on The CW... Dark Shadows: Resurrections, a revival of the 1966 classic vampire show. Despite it being such an iconic brand and potential hit, the plug was pulled before it even began.

TV Line reports, “Dark Shadows: Resurrections never made it to the pilot stage and at this point is no longer in development at The CW.”

“The re-imagined show was set to be a modern-day continuation of the strange, terrifying, and sexy saga of the Collins family of Collinsport, Maine — a mysterious, influential, publicity-shy group hiding a ghastly secret: For the past 400 years, they’ve lived under a curse that bedevils their blue blood with every imaginable supernatural creature and horror.”

The hour-long gothic horror drama pilot episode was written by Mark B. Perry (Revenge)

Created by Dan Curtis, Dark Shadows aired between 1966 and 1971, starring Jonathan Frid as Barnabas Collins.

Are you sad they pulled the plug before giving it a chance? Let us know in the comments!
