ABC Developing a Series Based on the CASTLE-Created Derrick Storm

This could get interesting/complicated: an ABC rep has confirmed that the network is in the early stages of developing a series based on the Derrick Storm book series.

What makes this extra crazy is that the Storm series was “written” by CASTLE’s title character Richard Castle (played by Nathan Fillion). In fact, Castle “killing off” Storm was one of the reasons why he first partnered with Beckett in the television series — Castle needed a new muse, and Beckett inspired Nikki Heat. (It was later revealed that Storm faked his own death.)

The pilot is set to be written by Gregory Poirier, and will be executive produced by CASTLE creator Andrew Marlowe and CASTLE executive producer Terri Edda Miller.

Like CASTLE’s Heat series, several Storm books and graphic novels have been actually released. No word yet on whether any of those stories will be a part of the potential upcoming show.
