Tower Prep is an action thriller telling the story of a rebellious
teen, Ian (Drew Van Acker), who wakes up one morning to find himself
trapped at a mysterious prep school focused on tapping into the "unique
potential" of its students. Ian forms a secret group with fellow
students CJ (Elise Gatien), Gabe (Ryan Pinkston) and Suki (Dyana Liu)
as they search for answers to where they are and how to get home. The
pilot was executive-produced and written by Paul Dini (Lost, Batman:
Arkham Asylum), with Terry McDonough (Breaking Bad, The Street)
directing. The series will be produced out of Cartoon Network Studios
in Burbank, CA, in association with Dolphin Entertainment.
Unnatural History is an action-packed mystery series centering on Henry Griffin (Kevin G. Schmidt), a teenager with exceptional skills acquired through years of globe-trotting with his anthropologist parents. Shipped off to a high school in Washington D.C., Henry and his smooth-talking cousin Jasper (Jordan Gavaris) find themselves wrapped up in mysteries revolving around the national museum. Mike Werb (Face/Off, The Mask) created the series and wrote the pilot, which was directed by Emmy Award winner Mikael Salomon (Band of Brothers, The Andromeda Strain, The Company). The series will be executive produced by Mike Werb and produced by Warner Horizon Television.
