While we’re still in the midst of May sweeps and all our favorite shows are giving us new episodes, it should be pointed out that May will soon come to an end and with it the television season.
And if you’re wondering what to watch this summer, there’s a new series coming to ABC Family that looks promising. It’s called The Nine Lives of Chloe King and it centers on a girl who begins developing heightened abilities on her birthday and realizes she’s being pursued by a mysterious person. Chloe, played by Skyler Samuels soon discovers she’s part of an ancient race that has been hunted by human assassins, and she may be their only hope for survival.
To promote the series debut, ABC family has released a photo of the cast. Surrounding Chloe are her childhood friends: Amy (Grace Phipps) and Paul (Ki Hong Lee), to her left, are shocked by her special powers, but remain supportive. Fellow students Alek (Benjamin Stone) and Jasmine (Alyssa Diaz) flank her to the right, are also descendents of the Mai and are her biggest allies. Then, of course, there’s her crush Brian played by Grey Damon. Chloe is immediately attracted to the new guy in school, but soon realizes balancing a relationship with her not-so-average lifestyle might be quite complicated.
The series debuts on June 14 at 9 p.m. EST and we’ve got a short preview below.
Mmmmmmpass.
I get the feeling they are trying for a Buffy thing there.
