The CW Network has given the green light for a pilot order to supernatural drama, Dead People from J.J. Abrams and Californication creator Tom Kapinos.
Written/executive produced by Kapinos, Dead People centers on a down-on-his-luck, semi-alcoholic but roguishly charming cab driver. After a near-death experience, he suddenly has the ability to interact with ghosts, including his late ex-wife who he has never gotten over. Warner Bros. TV is producing with studio-based Bad Robot and Kapinos’ Aggressive Mediocrity. Bad Robot’s Abrams and Bryan Burk also exec produce.
More on this as it develops.
