Both Guilt and Beyond have been picked up by ABC Family, joining the network’s lineup of scripted series that includes Switched at Birth. Announcing the pickups, ABC Family Executive Vice President of Programming and Development Karey Burke said, “These two shows are an exciting part of our evolution into Freeform. Guilt is a sexy, sophisticated event series whose European location feels bigger than anything we have ever done. Beyond introduces our audience to a new hero and takes them into a complex supernatural universe with great suspense and deep emotion.”
Kathryn Price and Nichole Millard created Guilt and are involved as writers and executive producers. Gary Fleder (Kingdom) directed the pilot.
The Guilt Plot: Guilt is a one-hour soapy drama about a young American woman in London who becomes the prime suspect in the savage murder of her roommate. As the investigation unfolds, viewers will question whether she’s a naïve, young girl whose poor decisions are being magnified under the ruthless glare of the British tabloids, or whether she’s a sociopath who brutally murdered her friend. Even her sister, who comes to London to defend her, will question how well she knows her little sister as more and more ugly truths come out. This mystery will twist through all layers of London society – from a posh but depraved sex club, all the way up to the Royal Family itself.
Beyond was created by writer/executive producer Adam Nussdorf, with Tim Kring, Zak Kadison, Justin Levy, and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones also on board as executive producers.
The Beyond Plot: Beyond is a one-hour drama about a young man who wakes up from a coma after 12 years and discovers new supernatural abilities that propel him into the middle of a dangerous conspiracy.
