McG and SMALLVILLE producers Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson are cooking up a new show for the CW called THE GRAYSONS and it's all about the youth of Dick "DJ" Grayson. Only a pilot has been ordered at this time, but the show is seen as a replacement for the long-running SMALLVILLE.
CW insiders said they also see the "Graysons" development as a validating gesture by Warner Bros. that the company is still behind its 50% investment in the netlet, particularly following this fall's strong openings for "Gossip Girl" and newbie "90210." They believe the studio wouldn't risk bringing one of its prized franchises to CW if it believed the net was in dire straits.
In the one-hour "Graysons," which will be set in modern times, young DJ will face challenges involving first loves, young rivals and his family as he grows up. Souders and Peterson have come up with an original take on the character.
What…no acrobat? We'd watch a show about a traveling circus family going around solving crimes! In TIGHTS.
