Then, finally Kevin Williamson — weary of vampires, struggling to find the plotline for “Scream 8” — will come in the door at ABC. “I have an idea about a time travel show,” he tells my counterpart over there, who finally gives the green light for network TV’s first time travel series in over half a century. This doesn’t mean that the resulting show — arriving this Sunday — will be any good, but at least it will be utterly fresh and original, full of intoxicating intellectual puzzles, and gorgeous, sexy actors with bright white teeth and a twinkle in their time-traveling eyes. Critics will cheer, audiences will be amazed and someone out there — mark my words — will say, “Why haven’t the networks done something like this ever before?”. Alas, as you ...

... to bring him back to the past. "I loved the movie so much," show creator Kevin Williamson (the "Scream" franchise, "The Vampire Diaries") told Business Insider. "It was one of those iconic movies I saw as a kid and it's what made me love H. G. Wells and opened the window to him. I started reading all his stuff. It started from that.". When Williamson realized that Warner Bros., which has a TV production deal with the producer, owned both the movie and book rights for "Time After Time," he felt the time was ripe to create the series. " At its core, all of his stories in some way or another deal with the best and worst of humanity, as it relates to technology," Williamson said. "And I thought that was really relevant.

It’s About Time As New Network Shows Turn To Time Travel As Theme

There’s also the new Fox series “Making History.” You can also add the CW’s “Frequency,” Starz series “Outlander” and BBC America’s “Doctor Who.”. “Time After Time” is based on the 1979 feature film where H. G. Wells (Malcolm Mc Dowell) uses a time machine he’s built to chase Jack the Ripper to modern times. Freddie Stroma takes on the role of Wells and Josh Bowman plays the Ripper in the new TV production. Marcos Siega, an executive producer on “Time after Time,” explains that time travel is popular because it is an escapist fantasy. Using time travel as the blueprint gives the writers and producers a wide array of story possibilities. It also comes with the inherent questions that always haunt such shows. If something bad happens in the past, why doesn’t the hero just go back to before it occurs to stop it. “The more we got into it, we started to realize that it opens up a lot of possibilities for storytelling.

Time After Time (ABC, 9 p.m.): Along with time travel, television of late has an appetite for League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen -style team-ups. First there was the baroque mélange of Penny Dreadful , then some spirit vs. logic crime-solving in Houdini & Doyle , and now there’s Time After Time. Adapted from Nicholas Meyer’s 1979 film , H. G. Wells ( Un REAL ’s Freddie Stroma) attempts to bring down the famous serial killer Jack The Ripper ( Revenge ’s Josh Bowman), only to teleport both of them to modern-day Manhattan. The source material is solid and the concept is joyfully nutty; however, enthusiasm is tempered by the presence of Kevin Williamson as showrunner, given that his recent offerings of The Following and Stalker suffered from being exploitative, nasty, and genuinely bad television. (Williamson also didn’t help his case by being a dick to everyone who pointed that out.) Fingers crossed we’ll get the better version of Williamson here.
