It has been a couple of months now since the new NBC TV series Reverie was picked up to series.
Within a few days of that announcement it became clear the show will be held over to ‘mid-season’, meaning that release will be much later than the main autumn/fall starts. It is likely that the sci-fi-ish drama will hit the small screen in early 2018.
The latest news is that the writers have started the process of actually writing the 10 episodes due to be in the short first season. The creator/exec producer/writer Mickey Fisher (Extant) let this be known. They will build on the themes set out in the pilot episode, begin to map out the story arcs, and develop the characters required to tell their tales. It is good news to see the production of Reverie is moving on.
I would expect that the shows premièring in September/October will have already kicked off the script creation process ahead of filming in the next month. A delayed-start show like Reverie can take a slightly more leisurely approach to this.
Reverie stars Sarah Shahi (Person Of Interest), Dennis Haysbert (24), Jessica Lu (Awkward.), Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes), and Kathryn. Sarah is a former hostage negotiator brought in by a virtual reality creator to help people ‘lost’ in the fictional world they are inhabiting. Kathryn plays a senior member of the department of defence looking to take advantage of the technology for military means.
