The CW to Develop Reboot of THE 4400

The CW will develop a reboot of the usa network series "The 4400," Variety reports.

The project will be run by Taylor Elmore and Craig Sweeny. Elmore and Sweeny will co-write the reboot pilot executive produce.

In the series, over the course of recent history, four thousand four hundred young adults in their reproductive prime have gone missing all over the world. Some disappearances happened as recently as a few weeks ago, while others date as far back as the day the Soviets launched the Sputnik satellite in 1957. One day in 2019, all 4,400 show up at the sites of their original abductions. None of them have aged a day and none have any memory of where they've been. The so called "4400" must grapple with their return to a changed and hostile world and also contend with the reality that they've come back altered in ways that none of them yet understand.

The original "The 4400" was created by René Echevarria and Scott Peters. It ran for four seasons from 2004-2007.

The CW is also currently developing a female-led adaptation of the film "Lean on Me," a female-led version of "The Picture of Dorian Gray," and an adaptation of the novel "The Lifeboat Clique."
