The CW Orders THE 4400 Reboot Straight to Series

The CW is officially rebooting THE 4400, ordering its take on the drama straight to series.

In the new version, “4400 overlooked, undervalued, or otherwise marginalized people who vanished without a trace over the last hundred years are all returned in an instant, having not aged a day and with no memory of what happened to them. As the government races to analyze the potential threat and contain the story, the 4400 themselves must grapple with the fact that they’ve been returned with a few…upgrades, and the increasing likelihood that they were all brought back now for a specific reason. Based on the original TV series.”

The drama comes Ariana Jackson; Anna Fricke and Laura Terry are on-board as non-writing EPs.

The original series ran for four season on USA Network, and starred Joel Gretsch, Jacqueline McKenzie, Mahershala Ali, Laura Allen, Patrick Flueger, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Billy Campbell, and more; Scott Peters and René Echevarria created the original show.

Additionally, The CW has ordered three pilots: NAOMI (based on the graphic novel by the same name), THE POWERPUFF GIRLS, and UNTITLED URMAN/ROTHROCK/WEIR PROJECT…
