Cassidy and Raimi Sign CBS Deal
Writer/producer Shaun Cassidy and director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man) will pair up again with CBS. The pair previously created the horror series American Gothic (1995-96) for CBS. The new project is an as-yet-untitled modern-day Jekyll-and-Hyde series about a forensic psychiatrist. Universal Network Television will produce. Cassidy will write the pilot and executive produce with Raimi and Gothic producer David Eick. Raimi is not expected to direct the pilot, though he may direct some second-unit or title sequences. Cassidy has long had a deal with Universal and has been an executive producer on the CBS drama The Agency for the last two years.
