Sarah Paulson, Bobby Cannavale, Nathan Fillion Back To TV
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.
