The “Arrow” spinoff that would have starred Kat McNamara as Oliver Queen’s daughter is no longer moving forward at The CW, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
McNamara, who was introduced during Season 7 of “Arrow” as Mia Smoak, Queen’s (Stephen Amell) daughter, would have starred in the new series with Katie Cassidy and Juliana Harkavy, who have portrayed two different versions of Black Canary (now known as “The Canaries”).
The potential series, which would have been called “Green Arrow and the Canaries,” aired a backdoor pilot during “Arrow’s” final season last year. Marc Guggenheim and “Arrow” showrunner Beth Schwartz wrote the script for the “Arrow” spinoff.
Along with “Arrow,” two more DC Comics series at The CW, “Black Lightning” and “Supergirl,” are also headed into their final seasons. The network is debuting “Superman & Lois” this year, and is developing a number of DC Comics projects,...

The CW is developing an anthology series inspired by the works of Jane Austen, Variety has learned.
Titled “Modern Austen,” the one-hour series reimagines Austen’s novels as six modern stories. Each season is a different novel, beginning with “Pride and Prejudice,” set in contemporary San Francisco.
The series hails from Eleanor Burgess, who will serve as writer and executive producer. Burgess most recently wrote on the HBO series “Perry Mason.” Stephanie Allain and Gabrielle Ebron will executive produce via Homegrown Pictures. Warner Bros. Television will produce.
Austen’s works have been frequently adapted for both film and television over the years. “Pride and Prejudice” alone has been adapted into multiple television miniseries as well as features. Most recently it was turned into a feature in 2005 starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet, Rupert Friend as Mr. Wickham, and Matthew Macfayden as Mr. Darcy. There have also been more free spirited approaches to Austen’s work,...

The CW is developing a spinoff of “Black Lightning” centered around Jordan Calloway’s Khalil Payne/Painkiller that will air as a backdoor pilot during the show’s upcoming fourth season.
The pilot will air as the seventh episode. “Black Lightning” returns Monday, Feb. 8.
During the first season of The CW superhero drama, Calloway recurred as Khalil Payne, a high school all-American track star until a stray bullet severs his spine. He’s then recruited by Tobias Whale (Marvin “Krondon” Jones III) who offers him legs for loyalty. Before his injury, Payne was romantically involved with Black Lightning’s youngest daughter, Jennifer Pierce (China Anne McClain).
He returned as the villainous Painkiller in the show’s second season.
