Time Travel Love Story & Football Drama from Greg Berlanti in Development at The CW

Greg Berlanti has signed on to executive produce two new drama projects in development at The CW, Variety has learned.

The first project is titled “Hold Fast.” It is described as an epic love story told in two timelines, following an injured Union soldier in the Reconstruction-era South who awakens reincarnated in present-day Charleston. With rapidly diminishing knowledge of his past life, he must navigate present-day relationships, including a fiancée he doesn’t remember, while uncovering what happened to his past love and searching for her. Dana Stevens will write and executive produce. Berlanti will executive produce with his producing partner Sarah Schecter.

The second, untitled project is inspired by the life of NFL football player Spencer Paysinger. It follows a rising high school football player from South Central L.A. who is recruited to play for Beverly Hills High. April Blair will write and executive produce the Paysinger project, with Berlanti and Schechter also executive producing. Robbie Rogers will produce with Dane Morck consulting.

Berlanti Productions will produce both projects in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Berlanti is set up under an overall deal.
