Fox Is Developing a Modern Peter Pan Series About Grown-Up Lost Boys, from the Creator of The Secret Circle
Peter Pan is having a bit of a moment in the world of television. But while NBC prepares to stage a kid-friendly live musical version of the story—complete with a creepy-looking Christopher Walken as Captain Hook and Girls' star Alison Williams in the title role—Fox is looking to put a grittier spin on the boy who won't grow up.
According to Deadline, the network is developing League of Pan, a modern take on the characters of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys. The project—which hails from Andrew Miller, creator of the short-lived supernatural drama The Secret Circle—centers on the lives of the Lost Boys 15 years after they've left Neverland.
Described as a "grounded, edgy, soapy thriller," the potential series is set in contemporary Los Angeles and follows the now-adult men as they're forced to work together to figure out who's killing them off, one by one. (My money's on Captain Hook or a murderous version of Tinker Bell.)
Unfortunately, they weren't on good terms with each another when they left Neverland, so they'll have to overcome rivalries and grudges if they want to stay alive and rediscover the magic they once had.
What say you? Yay or nay to the idea of League of Pan?
