LITTLE WOMEN Is Heading To The CW

In news that's sure to set Louisa May Alcott rolling in her grave, The CW is developing a series adaptation of Little Women "in which disparate half-sisters Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy band together in order to survive the dystopic streets of Philadelphia and unravel a conspiracy that stretches far beyond anything they have ever imagined – all while trying not to kill each other in the process." (Source: Deadline)

SAY WHAT NOW?

Alexis Jolly wrote the script, and based on the premise, I'm imagining his adaptation process went something like this:

Because, besides the names Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy, what the hell does this story have to do with Alcott's novel?

Not to say that I'm super attached to the book-- after we did our read-along, I realized that I didn't like Little Women as much as my kid self did-- but I do still love the heart of the story and its sisterhood. And I'm definitely a big fan of The CW, so I guess my general reaction can be summed up like so:

What say you, dear readers? Does this series show promise? Will it suck or be, like, The 100 levels of good? And, the most important question of all: who could possibly hold a candle to Christian Bale's Laurie?
