Forget Everything We’ve Told You About THE LOST BOYS TV Series

The Lost Boys may be one of the most-loved horror movies of the 1980s with legions of fans, but it’s having a hell of a time making the transition from the big screen to the small one. CW first announced their intention to turn the film into a series years ago, but the project has been put on the back burner several times.
Last March, the production caused a minor stir by announcing Cheyenne Haynes and Haley Tju had been cast as the Frog Sister, pulling a gender-swap on the Frog Brothers, Edgar and Alan, played by Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander in Joel Schumacher movie, released in 1987.
Well, forget everything we told you because it appears the entire cast (almost) has been dropped and The Lost Boys are going back to the Writers’ Room. Deadline reports:
The CW in May opted not to pick up pilot The Lost Boys to series but authorized a retooling, including recastings. As part of that, producing studio Warner Bros. TV has released the entire cast of the pilot with the exception of Medalion Rahimi and Dakota Shapiro whose options have been extended. The duo will co-star in the new, reworked pilot, which will likely film by the end of the year.
Whether this means the Frog Sisters will revert back to their original sex remains to be seen, but we’ll keep you updated with all Lost Boys TV series related news as details emerge. Stay tuned and check back often!
