Greg Berlanti Developing 2 New Series For The CW

I'm starting to think I know what the CW stands for: "Can't We" as in "Can't we just run Greg Berlanti shows all the time?" The extremely prolific producer has just set up two new series at the network where he has at least one show on each night from Monday to Thursday. Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and Riverdale right now, with Black Lightning debuting later this year and the recent announcement of a Chilling Adventures of Sabrina series would put Berlanti at seven hours of television on a network that only broadcasts 10 prime time hours a week.

The first of the new series is an untitled high school football drama based on the life of NFL linebacker Spencer Paysinger. It will be written by April Blair (The Shannara Chronicles) and focuses on a rising high school football player from South Central L.A. that gets recruited to play for Beverly Hills High.

The second series, Hold Fast, is a reincarnation love epic set during the Reconstruction-era South and present-day Charleston. The show tells the love story in two timelines about a injured Union soldier who is reincarnated in the modern day. His new life is already in progress and includes a fiancée he doesn't remember. But the memories of his past life start to fade as he desperately tries to find what happened to his past love. This will be written and executive produced by Dana Stevens (Reckless).

Berlanti is also a producer on the NBC series Blindspot, the upcoming Titans series for the DC branded streaming service, and the two upcoming animated series Freedom Fighters: The Ray and Constantine. Turns out, it's Greg Berlanti's universe — and we're all just watching it.
