Fugit will play said role with Glenister as Reverend Anderson, "a hard drinking, hard gambling West Virginian evangelical preacher who believes he's a soldier in God's holy war against evil"; and Bateman as Joshua Austin, "a young boy who lives across town who appears to be possessed by a demon and has a mysterious connection to Kyle."

Marlene King will oversee the project, with a new writer set to replace Arika Lisanne Mittman (who penned The CW incarnation). Said effort revolves around "five girls who plot the perfect revenge after their lives are ruined by a handsome womanizer; only he dies, exactly how they planned - but they didn't do it." Warner Horizon Television and Alloy Entertainment are both behind the project, with Les Morgenstein and Cheryl Dolins will also executive producing. (Deadline.com)
