10 Most Anticipated TV Shows Of 2017
8. Still Star-Crossed (ABC)
The show is based on the novel by Melinda Taub and is a sequel to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. TV meets art and tragic romance, so I'm excited.
Set in 16th Century Verona, Juliet’s cousin, Rosaline is ordered by Prince Escalus to marry Benvolio of Montague in order to end the feud between the two families. The series will feature treachery, intrigue, and ill-fated romances in this tragic story of young lovers. If the show captures the dark, dramatic Shakespearian “feel” then we are in for a treat!
Still Star-Crossed is produced by Shonda Rhimes, and developed by Heather Mitchell, and stars Lashana Lynch and Wadd Briggs.
