ABC May Still Make a Play for Football Wives
ABC Studios has extended its options on the actors associated with
Football Wives, the
BBC-adapted sudser pilot that was not picked up at the May upfronts, suggesting the network may tackle the project after all. One of the Alphabet's highest-profile pilots this development season,
Football Wives stars
Gabrielle Union,
Lucy Lawless,
Kiele Sanchez (sigh, Nikki...),
Ving Rhames and
James Van Der Beek. Should ABC ultimately "pass," sources tell the
Hollywood Reporter that several other networks, including NBC and Fox, have expressed an interest in it.
