Your favorite childhood fairy tales are about to get modernized in a very unsettling way, thanks to CBS and former The Vampire Diaries writer Kevin Williamson. The writer and producer's newest project is a dark reimagining of classic fairy tales as modern-day thrillers. This definitely won't be similar to Once Upon a Time's fantastical take on stories like Cinderella or The Little Mermaid. According to CBS [1], Tell Me a Story is more of "an epic and subversive tale of love, loss, greed, revenge, and murder."
The series will air on CBS All Access with a 10-episode debut season, set to premiere on Oct. 31. The cast of Tell Me a Story includes familiar faces like Paul Wesley [2], Dania Ramirez, Danielle Campbell, and Kim Cattrall [3]. Keep reading to see the first trailer and get more information about this new psychological thriller series.
