"Bitches" Werewolf TV series

[blaidd]

Apparently it's in the works to debut on Fox next November. Michael Dougherty will be writing, no actresses confirmed. Here he is talking about the porejct:

It?s about goddamn time someone tried to get werewolves back on primetime TV. Sure there have been some shows since ?Werewolf: The Series? that have made minimal effort, but it sounds like Trick ?r Treat director Michael Dougherty?s Fox show ?Bitches? will be the one we?ve been waiting for.

?It?s about four women living in New York City who are werewolves,? Dougherty told the Fangoria Radio crew the other night. ?It?s Sex & The City with werewolves! They seduce people, then they eat them! The series will answer the questions: how do they feed, where do they work? It?s very funny.?

?Bitches? will be kicking into production early next year. Just how much of a mix of humor and horror there will be remains to be seen, but it?s got werewolves so I?m there. Let?s hope it makes it past the pilot at least!


Any guesses on the TF potential there? It is FOX, so it should be nice and trashy.

It's FOX, sooo....

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of a TV series, but should FOX be the one to do it?
As far as "answering questions", I think they're a little behind the curve on that one, huh?

Considering what little we know about the show, unless they plan on "raising the bar", I only see moderate TF scenes in this one.
The final verdict is out until Trick 'r Treat is released to the public or this series is shown on the air, whichever comes first.

It's 200-freakin'-9; I don't see how they can screw this one up (TF sequences), and yet someone manages to find a way....

Just brace yourself for the mainstream frenzy that's bound to happen when it's released.

[Dr. Otto]

It's from 20th Century Fox. Expect shit.

[Soty]

Yeah, just like Simpsons, Family Guy, and Futurama, Star Wars, the Alien series, etc, etc, etc.

Still, I wouldn't hold my breath on detailed transformation scenes. That is, unless FOX has figured out that we exist and have money.

And even then, I wouldn't expect it to be extremely thoughtful or considerate to people actually enjoying it.

Here's to being proven wrong?

[Arthax]

Sounds promising. There hasn't been a werewolf series on tv since "Wolf Lake" was cancelled in its first season back in 2001. That was disappointing, as
I'm pretty sure there would've been some sweet tf-scenes in the show had it continued.

But I believe that was on CBS, whereas this is FOX. Hopefully this one fares better.

[Cursebearer]

We can only hope that this will have some decent TF fare. I was hoping that that Supernatural episode featuring the werewolf babe would be good too... Then all she did is grow fangs and look mean. I'll do my best not to get my hopes up till this hits, far as I know there isn't even a cast list out for this yet.

[fox_drifter]

A primetime show on Fox with the title 'Bitches'? I feel like that's asking to be torn up by the FCC, even if it is the literal meaning (and a clever pun).

[CK01]

I'll repeat what I said first time new of this series appeared here, even if its good and it gets a name change (very unlikely to make it passed american censors methinks), it's a Fox show. They'll show a few eps and kill it because as a niche genre series it isn't rating through the roof. Why release niche genre stuff and expect more than niche genre rating I'll never know...

[Soty]

So, you figure, Clerks the Cartoon all over again?

Makes enough sense.

[CK01]

Never saw it, so I'd say "Firefly" or "Drive" but yeah

[Anahki]

Well, meanwhile we don't have anything better we should accept whatever they give to us...but it's too soon to consider if the show is going to be incredible or just crap. Yes, I understand your points of view, there have been so many deceptions in the past .

[No-Man]

I'd hardly call werewolf stuff "niche". There are a huge number of werewolf fans and they aren't all transformation fetishists.
