ABC Announces New Series

Before the new television season kicks off next week, ABC is already reloading their larder with five new series.  Among them is Cupid, a revival of the one-hit wonder series from a decade ago.  Created by Veronica Mars’ Rob Thomas, it debuted on September 26, 1998 and starred Jeremy Piven as a man who might or might not be the reincarnation of the mythological Cupid.  Consigned to Earth by Zeus as punishment, he must help 100 couples romantically connect without once using his god-like powers. After a mere 15 episodes, the network axed the show. As Thomas was developing new ideas for the network, everyone kept circling back to the Cupid concept and a fresh approach was approved.

Snakes on a Plane’s Bobby Cannavale and The Spirit’s Sarah Paulson with the actress playing the psychiatrist who is treating his “delusion”.

Nathan Fillion will transition from Wisteria Lane to the Big Apple when he stars in Castle. He’s a crime novelist who winds up assisting the NYPD solve murder cases.

Alyssa Milano returns to the network, starring in Single with Parents, a sitcom about a woman struggling to handle her job, her life and parents, played by Annie Potts and Beau Bridges.

Harold Perrineau Jr. remains free from Lost’s island by starring as part of the ensemble cop series The Unusuals along with Amber Tamblyn, Jeremy Renner, Adam Goldberg, Kai Lennoz and Terry Kinney.
