Tradecraft: ABC Family Emerges From Shadows

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "ABC Family is developing a new series titled Shadows, about a secret program at Harvard designed to train a new generation of spies.... The show revolves around faculty and students involved in the spy program."  That's pretty much all the information the trade has to offer.  Spy schools are a fascinating premise, but I wonder what the tone is?  Is this going to be a realistic drama about Ivy Leaguers bound for covert careers, or is it going to be more like Alias Jr. with romantically-entangled co-eds sent on weekly missions exploding things?  Honestly, I'd be good with either one, but I'm curious.  I want to know!  The series was created by Jesse Peyronel, who will executive produce.

  1. I'm going to assume you don't watch much ABC Family and therefore don't know every other show they have is about romantically entangled co-eds.
