If it’s supernatural/superhero series you’re into, ABC Family picked up a new show that may interest you. Based on a series of books, this new show follows a girl with heightened abilities.
ABC Family announced that they’ve picked up The Nine Lives of Chloe King. The drama series is based on a series of books and follows Chloe, a girl who learns she has special abilities and is part of an ancient race that’s been hunted by assassins. The Gates' Skyler Samuels has been cast to play the title role.
Another supernatural-themed drama series finds a home on TV. While I’m sure some are growing tired of the super-genre, I suspect this one will find an audience, especially if these books are popular with the kids.
Below is ABC Family’s synopsis for the series, which is set to premiere sometime later this year.
