ABC is bringing Timothy Hutton and Felicity Huffman back to our televisions in the new drama, AMERICAN CRIME, and it seems like it’s going to be a dark series: a couple is attacked in their home, and it stirs up racial tension in the community. (And it has massive prestige behind-the-scenes, too: it comes from 12 YEARS A SLAVE’s John Ridley.)
Check out a photo from the series, the network’s official description, and a trailer…

Comments Off on GALAVANT on ABC – First Look
ABC is no stranger to having fairytale shows on its network, but the new show GALAVANT takes things one step further: it’s also a comedy-musical. (It’ll also, appropriately enough, be aired during ONCE UPON A TIME’s midseason break.)
Check out a few photos from the new series, the official network description, and a trailer…
GALAVANT
GALAVANT - Pilot - Screenwriter/executive producer Dan Fogelman ("Crazy, Stupid, Love," "Tangled," "Cars") teams up with Broadway and Hollywood award-winning musical team-composer Alan Menken ("The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin," "Beauty and the Beast") and lyricist Glenn Slater ("The Little Mermaid," "Tangled")-for a musical comedy fairytale of epic proportions. Once upon a time, the dashing hero, Galavant (Joshua Sasse), lost the love of his life, Madalena (Mallory Jansen), to the evil King Richard (Timothy Omundson). Now, our fallen hero is ready to take revenge and restore his "happily ever after." But it won't be without a few twists and turns along the way. (ABC/Nick Ray)JOSHUA SASSE
