The CW is developing “Slay”, a supernatural drama executive produced by Oscar and Emmy winner Regina King (“The Leftovers”, “Watchmen”), reports Deadline.
“Slay” centers on Carson Jones, a bold, witty teenager with afro puffs, leather boots, seventies cool, and – thanks to her mother’s ancient African bloodline – supernatural gifts and the responsibility to use them to protect Virginia’s Historic Triangle (one of the most haunted areas in the country) from the forces of darkness.”
Written by Julian Johnson with former CSI: NY showrunner Pam Veasey supervising, Regina King and her sister, Reina King, executive produce through their company Royal Ties Prods. Veasey also executive produces while Johnson co-executive produces. CBS Studios is the studio.
Regina King just won her fourth Emmy in five years for HBO’s “Watchmen”, pictured above. King’s feature directorial debut, One Night In Miami, is garnering strong awards buzz, adds the site.
