The CW is giving the old EDM thing another go with a new show
Having learned nothing—or possibly the wrong thing—from the disastrous opening of We Are Your Friends, the CW and CBS TV Studios are working on The Drop, a drama centered on Miami’s electronic dance music scene. Deadline reports the show will follow a washed-up DJ whose life and career are revived when he finds a “gifted protégé.” The up-and-coming DJ character happens to be a black woman, which the publication notes is a rarity in the EDM world. This isn’t the network’s first EDM rodeo (rave?); two years ago, the CW was working on a similar idea with NCIS: Los Angeles showrunner Shane Brennan and DJ Tiësto.
