We have previously brought you news the CW Network has been planning a series based on the 1980’s horror anthology, Tales From The Darkside. Today the network announced it has found its star for the show. Kris Lemche (pictured below) has been cast as the lead in the horror reboot.
The series is from writer Joe Hill and producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
The anthology series will feature only one regular character, Newman (Lemche). A weathered and tortured young man, Newman is the guide to the unsuspecting who come across The Darkside. Newman – a man with his own desperate, wrenching secrets – knows exactly what’s causing the terrifying Darkside Events that drive the series. What he doesn’t know is how to stop them.
Hill, Kurtzman and Orci executive produce with Heather Kadin, Mitch Galin and Jerry Golod for CBS TV Studios.
More on this as it comes in.
