The CW gives pilot orders to Rob Thomas' The Lost Boys reboot and Maverick

Entertainment Weekly

Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage's Maverick, about the college student daughter of the president of the United States who has to decide which side she's on in an America that finds itself under authoritarian rule, has received a pilot order. So has Thomas' Lost Boys reboot that he's writing with Heather Mitchell. “This has been a odyssey for me with Lost Boys,” Thomas told EW last year. “I have been trying to get Lost Boys — I was about to say trying to get Lost Boys to see the light of day, and that sounded so embarrassingly punny to me that I will rephrase that sentence. I’ve been trying to get Lost Boys off the ground for the better part of four years now, first as a movie, then as a pilot that I wrote, and now as a pilot that Heather’s written. We just shot a pilot that did not quite work; we plan on shooting another one. Hopefully this fourth attempt of ours will be the charm. Lost Boys deserves to be on TV.”
