Adam and Eddy's Next Project: "Amazing Stories" Reboot

[RumplesGirl]

I’d be really interested to know some of the BTS timeline stuff going on here. As fans, we heard about JMo’s departure the day after (lol, literally) the musical episode and we didn’t get official announcement about S7 being the end until the beginning of February but surely the decision has been made before then, and A and E were told (I’m going to ignore what the President of ABC said at the January TCA’s…)

But when did JMo make that decision–and I’ll always wonder what spurred her choice, was it the desire for directing (she’s given some odd contradictory statements about directing for OUAT) or did she not get something she wanted (Producer was always tossed around as a reason she left)? And did A and E meet with ABC, say they wanted one more year but wanted flexibility to work on another project (and ABC agreed since OUAT has done quite well for ABC overall)

There are a lot of moving parts, but based on everything Jennifer said with wanting to get back to her life and all that, i really think that she was out long before they told us. I kind of wonder if they even really approached her, the way that she talked in some interviews made it seem like there weren’t even real talks. I think that it was over long before we were told, but they were allowed to pitch another season and so they did and got it, but everyone already had one foot out the door at that time because they knew for so long that Ginny and Josh and Jennifer were out and thought that they would get cancelled because of it.

I don’t really think we will ever know.

Moving a bit away, back to the topic, but someone on Tumblr pointed out that the quickness of this announcement suggests that this has been in the works for awhile and could only officially go public once their non-compete clause from OUAT was lifted. It might explain why we saw so few episodes from A and E in this last season–they knew ABC was going to cancel the show and took the gig, working on it in tandem with ending OUAT.

Bryan Fuller, the original choice to helm Amazing Stories, exited the project on February 7th. Just 1 day after OUAT’s cancellation was announced: http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/bryan-fuller-amazing-stories-apple-1202690957/

So I’m guessing they were offered the job shortly after this.

I wondered if some of the OUAT writers would go with A and E. Maybe others will join?
