You might not straightaway associate Drew Barrymore with horror , but the Hollywood veteran has a satisfying connexion with the genre , choke all the way back to Firestarter and up through Santa Clarita Diet . ( And lease ’s not leave Scream . ) So it makes gumption that she ’d be helping guide a new , distaff - focussed repulsion serial to the airwaves .
It ’s call Black Rose Anthology , and as the name suggests , it will be an anthology serial on the CW lie in of time of day - prospicient episode , each written and directed by women . The other cardinal name behind the camera ( besides Barrymore ’s produce spouse Nancy Juvonen ) is Jill Blotevogel , former co - showrunner on MTV ’s Scream : The Series , who will write the pilot .
Deadlinereports that Black Rose Anthology “ will explore some of humanity ’s deepest fears from a woman ’s unparalleled view . Classic themes of threat will be tackled via vignettes about guilt , jealousy , repression , paranoia , insanity , intimate obsession and survival through a innovative and distinctly feminine lens . ”
The show — which sounds like it ’ll be less slasher - y and more about psychological panic , which would in reality be way more interesting and believably way scarey , too — is still “ in ontogeny , ” and there ’s no Good Book yet on who else might bestow to the serial , or who might asterisk in it .
