ABC's in Love, Greenlights Rob Thomas' Cupid
Criminy, run and buy a lottery ticket, Rob!
On Thursday, just hours after news broke about the
Veronica Mars creator possibly bringing
Beverly Hills, 90210 back to life for the CW, ABC gave a green light to the pilot for
Thomas' new version of
Cupid, the romantic comedy he gave the tube back in the '90s.
Back then,
Cupid starred
Jeremy Piven as a man who believed it was his mission to help Zeus boost romantically challenged mortals. The update is being pegged as a "reinvention."
Because
Cupid has been in development since the fall, the
Reporter says, it is in "first position" - that is, Thomas' priority - should both the comedy and the CW's new-
0210 (if penned by him) get picked up.
