Female-Driven Black Rose Anthology Series in the Works at The CW
With female-driven horror projects helmed by the likes of the Soska sisters, Jennifer Kent, and Karyn Kusama finally coming into their own, The CW is jumping on the bandwagon with “Black Rose Anthology,” a one-hour horror anthology series written and directed entirely by women.
Per Deadline, “Black Rose Anthology” hails from Drew Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen’s Flower Films (“Santa Clarita Diet”), former co-showrunner of MTV’s “Scream: The TV Series” Jill Blotevogel, and CBS TV Studios. It will explore some of humanity’s deepest fears from a woman’s unique perspective. Classic themes of terror will be tackled via vignettes about guilt, jealousy, repression, paranoia, insanity, sexual obsession, and survival through a modern and distinctly feminine lens.
Blotevogel will write the pilot and executive produce alongside Jamie Denenberg & Kevin Abrams of Alpine Labs and Flower Films principals Barrymore and Juvonen, president Chris Miller, and co-president Ember Truesdell as well as Nick Phillips, Anthony Masi, and Lotti Pharriss Knowles. Gaye Hirsch, Senior VP, Scripted Development, at The CW, is shepherding the project for the network.
