The CW Shooting New Lost Boys Pilot This Fall

The CW is going to give their Lost Boys reboot another chance this fall. Executive producer Rob Thomas told Deadline that the reboot series will shoot a new pilot after the first attempt was ultimately passed on. Medalion Rahimi and Dakota Shapiro are staying on board as Stella and David, with the rest of the cast being replaced.

“The writer, Heather Mitchell, is doing a rewrite on the script right now, we have gotten through the notes process,” said Thomas. “We are going to shoot the pilot this fall. There were scenes that we thought we could do a better job on, so it’s going through a 40% rewrite. It’s not a total rewrite.”

The reboot will follow the same premise as the original. In the series, after the sudden death of their father, brothers Michael and Sam Emerson move to Santa Carla with their mother, Lucy, who hopes to start anew in the town where she grew up. But the brothers soon find themselves being drawn deeper and deeper into the seductive world of Santa Carla’s eternally beautiful and youthful undead.
