So I figure that this is going to be the show that all of my fellow SCAdians will be obsessing over later this year:
Sequel to Romeo and Juliet (based on the Young Adult book by Melinda Taub), and they’re promising blood, intrigue, and betrayal. Mind you, it’ll be on network, so there’s gonna be some hard limits, there. Be interesting if it takes off.

PS: Personally, I hope that they answer the fairly obvious question raised in the trailer by not answering it at all. I can think of at least two new time travel shows coming out this season that will be marred by obvious attempts to Say Something Serious About Racism; I’m all for the producers just stonefacing their way through the issue and keep distracting the audience with blood, intrigue, and betrayal. Again, within the restrictions of network TV…
Oh, it’s from Shonda Rimes & Co. To their credit, their production values and writing otherwise have been very tight. I don’t recall any terribly obnoxious grandstanding in the few bit from the other shows I’ve come across.
