ABC Orders Pilot for Adaptation of 666 Park Avenue

ABC has ordered a pilot for a potential series adaptation of the supernatural novels by Gabriella Pierce, taking its title from the first book in the series, 666 Park Avenue.

The pilot's storyline is expected to generally follow that of the book — though possibly from the perspective of a different set of characters — which asks the question: What if your mother-in-law turned out to be an evil, cold-blooded witch … literally?

Ever since fabulously wealthy Malcolm Doran walked into her life and swept her off her feet, fledgling architect Jane Boyle has been living a fairy tale. When he proposes with a stunning diamond to seal the deal, Jane can't believe her incredible luck and decides to leave her Paris-based job to make a new start with Malcolm in New York.

But when Malcolm introduces Jane to the esteemed Doran clan, one of Manhattan's most feared and revered families, Jane's fairy tale takes a darker turn. Soon everything she thought she knew about the world — and herself — is upended. Now Jane must struggle with new-found magical abilities and the threat of those who will stop at nothing to get them.

The second book in the series, The Dark Glamour, was published this past August.
