CBS is adding to its original programming for its digital streaming service CBS All Access, with the network ordering the psychological thriller Tell Me a Story from writer Kevin Williamson (Scream, The Vampire Diaries), who will executive produce with Aaron Kaplan and Dana Honor.
Based on a Spanish TV series airing on Antena tres, the series takes the world’s most beloved fairy tales and reimagines them as a dark and twisted psychological thriller. The first season is set to tackle The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and the Beanstalk, presenting a tale of love, loss, greed, revenge and murder in modern-day New York.
Tell Me a Story joins CBS All Access’ growing roster of original series, which includes Star Trek: Discovery, The Good Fight and No Activity. Upcoming shows include $1, Strange Angel, and The Twilight Zone.
