The CW is officially taking another stab at The Lost Boys, handing a fresh pilot order to Rob Thomas’ long-gestating series adaptation of the cult 1987 vampire flick. Last May, the network — after passing on Thomas and fellow Ep Heather Mitchell’s initial pilot starring Tyler Posey and Kiele Sanchez — announced that the project would be redeveloped. In addition to a new script (from Thomas and Mitchell), Pilot No. 2 will feature an entirely new cast and a new director in Marcos Siega (The Vampire Diaries).

Like clockwork — the CW once again is done with its pilot orders by Feb.1, doing the bulk of its pickups during the last week of January. The network today gave pilot green light to The Lost Boys, a retooled version of the pilot the CW ordered last season, from Heather Mitchell and Rob Thomas, and Maverick, from young writer Merigan Mulhern (BH90210) and Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s Fake Empire, about a college-bound President’s Daughter who starts to question her loyalty to her father “in a present day America that finds itself under authoritarian rule.”
Top pilot director Marcos Siega, who helmed the pilots for the CW series The Vampire Diaries and Batwoman, has come on board to direct the new Lost Boys pilot. (Last season’s pilot was directed by Catherine Hardwicke). In another change from last year, executive producer Thomas co-wrote the reworked version of the script with Mitchell,...

The CW has ordered two more pilots for the 2020-2021 season, including a second formal order for a series reboot of the 1987 film “The Lost Boys.”
The network had previously ordered a “Lost Boys” pilot last season before ultimately passing. The network remained high on the project, however, and decided to redevelop it. In the new version, when a mother and her Gen Z sons move to the seaside town where she grew up, they discover there’s a sinister reason the local cool kids sleep all day, party all night, never grow up and never get old. Family bonds are tested as the brothers find themselves on opposite sides of a mythological struggle.
None of the cast members from the first pilot are attached to the new version. Heather Mitchell and Rob Thomas are credited as writers and executive producers on the new pilot, with Marcos Siega attached to direct and executive produce.
