ABC Family is finalizing deals to give pilot orders to several hourlong projects, including Strut and Intercept. Strut, which was originally given a cast-contingent pilot order last fall, is a drama about a former showgirl who works with a struggling Texas high school drill team. Lamar Damon wrote the original script and was set to executive produce with Anna Mastro, Karey Burke, Charlie Stratton and Norman Buckley. The project has now been reworked by Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino who is executive producing with Burke, Stratton, Mastro and Buckley. Intercept, written by Ray Wright, is about college hackers.

so ‘Hellcats’ minus the pom-poms & high school?
What the heck? ABC Family needs to focus on renewing the good show that’s still on the bubble (Make it or Break it), not developing new projects.
JJ, I agree with you! That is a great show, and very diverse as well.
Really? I am all for new shows but right now they need to focus on the shows they have already!!!! Make it or Break it is such a great show but they spend very little time promoting it so everyone can see how good it is!!!! They already have a ton of good shows they need to focus on them instead of creating new shows all the time then forgetting about them to start another new show!!!! It’s ridiculous haven’t they ever heard of finishing what they start!!!!
I cant belive they canceled nine lives for this crap!!!! I mean they left us on a cliffhanger and of course they go off and cancel the darn show!!!!!and it is soo true about ” make it or break it” i mean if they want alot of viewers then they need to stop canceling the shows everybody watches!!!!
Ok y’all I LOVED The Nine Lives Of Cloe King and am very disappointed that it was cancelled, BUT this new show Strut sounds awesome!!!! I’m from Texas and also happened to dance on my high school drill team and I can’t wait for this show to start!! FINALLY a show for all us drill teamers!!!!!!!!
