Former ‘Lost’ execs Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz pitching new drama to ABC

The 2011-12 TV season is shaping up to be a promising must-see TV extravaganza for Lost fans.  In addition to the  J.J. Abrams/Bryan Burk/Josh Appelbaum/Andre Nemec buddy cop show starring Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson (aka Lost‘s John Locke & Benjamin Linus) picked up by NBC, there’s this: Former Lost executive producers and writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz are currently developing a “top secret fairy-tale-themed drama series.”  According to Ausiello, the duo are about to pitch the drama to ABC Studios, since they still have an overall deal with the network.  If the show gets picked up (and I have no doubt it will–Kitsis & Horowitz are extremely talented producers with uber-successful Lost to back them up), a special someone is ready to serve as a consultant to the show.  Drumroll, please… It’s Damon Lindelof, co-creator and exec producer of Lost.  Boom, your pants just fell off.  Due to the top-secret nature of the project, Ausiello was only able to sniff out this tidbit of detail: the show will feature a female lead.  Evangeline Lilly, any takers?  OK fine, that would just be silly now wouldn’t it?  Both ears to the ground with this developing story.
