Just a few short months after Revenge concluded its final season on ABC in , the network said the door was open to spinoff series set in the show's world. However, it wasn't until November that Kelley and How to Get Away With Murder writer Joe Fazzio were reported to be working on a script for a sequel series about a brand new character.
The story would be set in Malibu, California and follow a young Latinx immigrant who's seeking revenge on a "pharmaceutical dynasty that caused the murder of her biochemist mother, the destruction of her family and a global epidemic.
At this time, no reason was provided for why ABC passed on the project. It's also unclear if the potential TV show could move to a new home, either a different network or a streaming service. Considering the drama would have revolved around a global epidemic, the network may have felt this particular story now hits too close to home with the world currently in the middle of a pandemic. And since the epidemic is integral to the storyline of this new Revenge series, it's possible it was easier for ABC to scrap the series entirely rather than try to rework it and continue development.
It's also possible the show's storyline reflecting our real-world circumstances had nothing to do with the decision. User reviews Review. Top review. Revenge - The Countess of Monte Cristo. The plot of this series has similarities to the Count of Monte Cristo story. A young girl whose life was shattered by some people and now after many years she came back to live among them only to get revenge. This series has a much darker side then it shows and it slowly progresses to the story line. Emily Van Camp did a tremendous job playing the lead and during the pilot, she manages to show a glimpse of her dark side for the episodes to come.
Madeleine Stowe is typically cold-hearted and evil, and suspects Emily from the start. The Main story line focuses on these two playing a game of cat and mouse with each other, where other characters are there as well with their own agendas.
I hope this series maintain its level of darkness and twists FAQ 1. Is the show based upon 'The Count of Monte Cristo'? Details Edit. Release date September 21, United States. United States. English French Italian Spanish. Technical specs Edit.
