CW Seed Also to Launch a New Edition of “Machinima’s Chasing the Cup” with Players of the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment Game “Injustice 2” This Fall
NEW YORK (May 18, 2017) – CW Seed, The CW Network’s digital network, will add the full series runs of the original DYNASTY and EVERWOOD this summer, and a new installment of MACHINIMA’S CHASING THE CUP later this fall. The announcement was made today by Mark Pedowitz, President, The CW, at The CW’s upfront presentation at the New York City Center in New York City.
As part of The CW’s quarterly eSports specials, MACHINIMA’S CHASING THE CUP is back with a new season this fall and is hitting the road to follow players as they compete across the eSports tournament circuit in the Injustice 2 Pro Series, a global eSport competition run by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Professional gamers will go head-to-head playing the hottest new fighting game, Injustice 2, from NetherRealm Studios, which features a huge roster of the greatest DC Super-Heroes and Super-Villains. CHASING THE CUP will launch first as a digital series on CW Seed this fall, with the season finale to air as a one-hour broadcast special on The CW Network. Additional details, including premiere date and time, will be announced at a later date.
Also coming to CW Seed on August 1, the iconic primetime soap DYNASTY, and on June 1, the beloved drama EVERWOOD. First premiering in 1981, DYNASTY, about the lives and loves of the fabulously wealthy Carrington family and their rivals, the Colbys, starred John Forsythe, Linda Evans and Joan Collins. From Aaron Spelling Productions, the executive producers of DYNASTY were Aaron Spelling, Esther & Richard Shapiro and Douglas S. Cramer.
Set in a breathtaking small town in the Rocky Mountains, EVERWOOD has at its emotional center the visceral and often heartbreaking relationship between a father and son. Dr. Andrew Brown’s life changed forever the day his loving wife died. Up until then, he had been a world-renowned neurosurgeon whose career always overshadowed his obligations as a parent. When he was faced with the daunting task of raising his two kids, Delia and Ephram, by himself, Dr. Brown traded in the New York skyline for the vistas of the Rockies to settle in Everwood, Colorado, a charming and picturesque little town tucked among majestic snowy peaks. Starring Treat Williams, Gregory Smith, Emily van Camp and Chris Pratt, EVERWOOD was produced by Everwood Utah, Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti, Mickey Liddell and Rina Mimoun.
The Dynasty reboot has a long way to go before getting a Season 2 renewal, but the release of the original series wont hurt spread the word and build buzz ahead of its first season premiere this fall.
With CW releasing the original run of Everwood, could a revival or reboot of the 2002-2006 series be next on the network’s conveyor belt of ideas? Stay tuned…
