ABC is pitching their new fall show, The Crossing, as the next Lost. Except that it’s not really like Lost. It’s more like The 4400. Actually, let’s be honest…nothing will ever be like the television phenomenon that was Lost. But to get a glimpse of what The Crossing is really all about, read on! The Crossing tells the story of 47 refugees washing up on the shores of a small Washington state fishing town. (Okay. I admit it. That much sounds at least a little bit like a colder, muggier version of Lost.) But these aren’t just any refugees. They are the few survivors of the many that fled a terrible war in America – a couple hundred years in the future. (Cue the dramatic music.) And they aren’t the first.
Get a glimpse of The Crossing for yourself here with the first trailer!
The Rob Bowman (The X-Files)-directed pilot kicks off the story, as the survivors find their way to shore while the other 400, more unfortunate, escapees float dead in the freezing water. How will law enforcement, such as Sheriff Jude Miller (Steven Zahn), Deputy Nestor (Rick Gomez), and Federal Agent Emma Ren (Sandrine Holt) cope with the influx of mysterious new people in the rural Washington town? How will the town’s residents and the refugees themselves handle the bizarre situation they’ve all been thrust into?
The heart of The Crossing might be just that: people dealing with an extraordinary situation, full of time travel, war, and possible mutant abilities to boot. (And I’m sure there’s a not-so-subtle political stab at the immigration debate in there somewhere.) A statement from the Disney presentation of the new show explained, “It’s a character-driven piece in a world we know and these are characters we can connect with. This is a show we are convinced international audiences will love.”
The Crossing will include not only Zahn, Gomez (Band of Brothers), and House of Cards’ Holt. It will also include Natalie Martinez (APB), Jay Karnes (The Shield), Marcuis Harris (Vice Principals), Simone Kessel, Jon D’Leo, Tommy Bastow, Luc Roderique, Rob Campbell, Grant Harvey, Kelly Missal, and Baily Skodge.
The ABC Studios production is written by Dan Dworkin, with Jay Beattie (Revenge) executively producing alongside Jason Reed.
Is there enough mystery to get The Crossing up and running for more than a season? You’ll have to keep tabs on the show’s Twitter, and see it for yourself this fall! In the meantime, what do you think of the new upcoming ABC show?
“When I grow up” part one! The sons of Batman and Superman have graduated to their own monthly comic-but if they want to survive, they’re going to have to share it! Writer Peter J. Tomasi (BATMAN & ROBIN, SUPERMAN) teams with rising-star artist Jorge Jimenez (EARTH 2) to bring you the adventures of the World’s Smallest. This debut issue looks at the lives of Robin and Superboy and their destiny to follow in their fathers’ footsteps, while we meet a new villain whose ascension parallels the boys’ own understanding of their powers-except that he believes it’s his right to rule over every being on the planet!
Vic Fuentes, Mike Fuentes, Tony Perry and Jaime Preciado of the band Pierce the Veil visit Marvel HQ to talk about their upcoming tour, Marvel movies and much more!

You’ve seen law enforcement team up with psychic detectives. You’ve seen them work with cocky writers. You’ve even seen them working with the devil himself. But have you ever seen the FBI team up with an illusionist? ABC has a new series coming this fall which plans to do exactly that. It might be crazy, or it might be a stroke of genius in the “odd-couple-team-up” genre. Here’s the 411 on ABC’s upcoming show, Deception. Deception is set to follow world-famous magician Cameron Black (Jack Cutmore-Scott) as he scrambles to find meaning when his career falls to pieces after a scandal. In a twist of events, he ends up working with the FBI as a consultant, helping them catch criminals with his skills of deception and trickery put to the test.
Watch the first trailer for Deception for yourself here, because…who doesn’t love magic?
With a pilot order in January and a full series order finally coming through in May, the show is not to be confused with the one-season soap opera of the same name once on NBC. Deception is just one of many Greg Berlanti shows on television now (or coming soon), in what I like to call “the Berlanti TV takeover.” The show is the creation of Berlanti and Chuck’s Chris Fedak (also set to be a writer), which they will continue to executively produce with Sarah Schechter and Martin Gero, with illusionist David Kwong co-producing. With a subject matter expert on board to produce and David Nutter helming the pilot episode, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the show got a series order. Plus, I mentioned magic, right?
The show’s cast includes more than Cutmore-Scott as Black. Lenora Crichlow will be playing Dina Clark, and Prison Break’s Amaury Nolasco will fill the role of Mike Alvarez. They are joined by Justin Chon as Jordan Kwon, Laila Robins as Special Agent Deakins, and the fantastic Vinnie Jones as Gunter Gustafsen.
I can’t help but wonder if this is how wizards make a living in the Muggle world…guess we’ll just have to watch ABC this fall, and find out with Deception!
