Drew Barrymore Producing a Female-Focused Horror Anthology For The CW

When you associate Drew Barrymore with horror, most of us automatically think about her iconic performance in the opening act of Scream. So it comes as no surprise when we find out that Barrymore will be helping to guide a new, female-focused horror TV series.

It’s called Black Rose Anthology, and it will be a series on The CW consisting of hour-long episodes written and directed by women. Jill Blotevogel (MTV’s Scream: The Series) is writing the pilot.

Deadline reports that the Black Rose Anthology “will explore some of humanity’s deepest fears from a woman’s unique perspective. Classic themes of terror will be tackled via vignettes about guilt, jealousy, repression, paranoia, insanity, sexual obsession and survival through a modern and distinctly feminine lens.”

The show is less likely to be a slasher and more aimed at psychological terror, which is usually much more terrifying. The series is still in development, and there’s no word yet on a cast or directors that will eventually be attached to the project.
