Greg Berlanti

The fact that The CW's new series "The Tomorrow People" is providing a regular home for the wonderful Mark Pellegrino is reason enough to give it a shot, but it will also be interesting to see if lightning can strike twice for the Amell family - on the same night.

We have some casting news for one of The CW's pilots as the network has placed another member of the Amell family in a prominent position on the network. Robbie Amell, cousin of "Arrow" star Stephen Amell, has been cast in a lead role in "The Tomorrow People."

Another new pilot in the sci-fi vein has been greenlit by The CW, and since this one comes from Julie Plec ("The Vampire Diaries") and Greg Berlanti ("Arrow"), we thought it worth mentioning.

We caught wind of three new series in the works at The CW which, while not strictly horror-based, should still be of interest to genre fans. Read on for the details!
