So that Jessica Pearson Suits spinoff didn’t quite work out, eh? That’s ultimately fine because Gina Torres is pivoting from legal dramas to Berlanti-esque vampire soap operas, courtesy of ABC. Per Deadline, Torres will star in the pilot for The Brides, a Dracula reimagining from Riverdale and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina EP Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Berlanti Productions, and Warner Bros. Television. Maggie Kiley, who has worked on a number of Berlanti’s shows, is set to direct. As stated by Deadline, “The Brides is a vampire soap about empowered, immortal women and the things they do to maintain wealth, prestige, legacy — and their nontraditional family.”
