If you are itching to know what happens after to the Houses of Montague and Capulet following the deaths of Romeo and Juliet in William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, then ABC may have just the thing for you…
The network has placed a pilot order for Still Star-Crossed, an adaptation of Melinda Taub’s 2013 novel of the same name; the book has been adapted for the small screen by Heather Mitchell, who will also executive produce the project alongside Shonda Rhimes.
Taking place in 16th century Verona, Still Star-Crossed “picks up where William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet left off, charting the treachery, palace intrigue and ill-fated romances of the Montagues and Capulets in the wake of the young lovers’ tragic fate.”
