The Hollywood Reporter is reporting the Cartoon Network has picked up its first two original scripted live-action mystery series: Tower Prep and Unnatural History. Thirteen hour-long episodes of each have been ordered, with production expected to begin in January 2010.
In a July press release announcing the Tower Prep pilot, Cartoon Network described the series as the story of a rebellious teen, Ian (Drew Van Acker), who wakes up one morning to find himself trapped at a mysterious prep school that offers no escape. He forms a secret group with CJ (Elise Gatien), Gabe (Ryan Pinkston) and Suki (Dyana Liu), intent on discovering what they’re being trained for and how to escape.
In an August press release announcing the Unnatural History pilot, Cartoon Network described the series as an action-packed blend of mystery and martial arts. The urban adventure series centers around Henry Griffin (Kevin G. Schmidt), a teenager with exceptional skills acquired through years of globe-trotting with his anthropologist parents. But Henry faces his biggest challenge of all when he moves back to America to attend a high school stranger than any place he's ever lived before.
