Dead Like Me movie is coming out Spring 2008. The actress who played George in Dead like me said that if the movie does well the show might be picked up again or they may do more follow up movies. This is CW's opportunity to grab a quality show. It fits their target demographic and would very perfectly compatible with Reaper. It has a built-in fanbase which would follow the show to The CW and bring new viewers and it would bring tonnes of critical acclaim to CW. I was just re-watching my Dead Like Me dvds and just thought that it was a more quality show than anything CW could dream of putting out. It will be a very smart move for them to pick it up for next fall after the amount of exposure it's gonna get as a result of the movie.
Wouldn't the show have to censor itself? I know it had to for it's run on the sci-fi channel.
I liked the show, but I'm pretty sure they've going to have to recast Daisy since the actress has that gig on Women's Murder Club. Then again, that show could be canceled before January and the actress would have a nice safety net.
I think the problem would be Reaper. Since it's sorta similar. If it's a success, then they might consider it. With the possibility that Smallville is in it's last year, and that Dead Like Me was on the Viacom-CBS owned Showtime, I think Dead Like Me has a slight chance.
