The CW buys a show about magic gangsters from the iZombie team
Proving that there’s no concept so high that a dedicated mind can’t do it one higher, the creative team behind iZombie—a TV show about an undead morgue worker who solves crimes by eating pieces of people’s brains—has successfully sold a show about magic-wielding gangsters to The CW. Deadline reports that Graham Norris, Rob Thomas, Danielle Stokdyk, and Dan Etheridge have successfully pitched their home network on Criminal Magic, an hour-long drama about warring street gangs battling each other for “the most lucrative contraband of all: magic.”
