ABC picks up Kevin Williamson’s H.G. Wells time travel show
In what’s starting to look like an effort to switch out its entire fall TV schedule in a single day, ABC has taken a break from canceling stuff for a minute to announce that it’s picking up a new series from Scream and Dawson’s Creek mastermind Kevin Williamson. Time After Time—based on Karl Alexander’s novel, and the 1979 Nicholas Meyer film—will see UnREAL’s Freddie Stroma step into the time-traveling boots of H.G. Wells (originally Malcolm McDowell) as he pursues Jack The Ripper into the modern day.
