The CW’s rebooted The Lost Boys pilot had begun filming before COVID-19 shut everything down, but has since been “rolled” – which means The CW will re-evaluate its potential series for next season. That said, The CW president Mark Pedowitz says the series is a “passion project.”
Pedowitz says: “That has been rolled. I spoke to Rob Thomas and many of the people directly about this. Lost Boys is a passion of mine personally, having Rob attached to it. Once we get through this climate, we will make a determination on how best to proceed with Lost Boys. I’m hoping to keep it going.”
