Fox Developing Modern Day PETER PAN Drama

Peter Pan and The Lost Boys may soon be headed to Fox.

According to Deadline, the network is currently developing a modern-day drama based upon the beloved characters. Titled THE LEAGUE OF PETER PAN, the project from Andrew Miller has been given a pilot commitment.

THE LEAGUE OF PETER PAN is described as "a grounded, edgy, soapy thriller featuring updated versions of all favorite Neverland characters. It picks up the Lost Boys fifteen years after they left Neverland. Now men and very much estranged, the Lost Boys are forced back together when they realize someone is killing them off one by one. To find out who and why and stay alive, they'll have to get past the bitter rivalries and bad blood that forced them out of paradise and rediscover the magic that made them fearless. This time in the very real world of contemporary Los Angeles."

The news comes as NBC is prepping its live musical presentation of PETER PAN!, starring Allison Williams and Christoper Walken.

Craig Zadan and Neil Meron will executive produce NBC's broadcast. The duo are accomplished in both television and film, having earned 103 Emmy nominations. They were the driving force behind several stage-to-screen musicals, including the film version of "Hairspray" and TV adaptation of "Cinderella," as well as executive producing the NBCdrama "Smash," which earned a Golden Globe nomination. They were also nominated for a Tony Award in 2011 for "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and also produced the revival of "Promises, Promises" to the Broadway stage in 2010. In addition, the duo executive produced the 2002 Oscar-winning film "Chicago."
