The big five broadcasters unveil their Fall 2018 slates next week at the New York Upfronts. Which filmed-in-Vancouver pilots have buzz?
ABC’s ensemble drama A Million Little Things and The CW’s Charmed reboot are two of the most talked about.
ABC’s A MILLION LITTLE THINGS
DJ Nash’s ensemble A Million Little Things is leading the drama pack at ABC, according to the trades.
Did you ever see The Big Chill? A Million Little Things is about eight friends — four men and four women — who are shocked when the one friend whose life seemed most together commits suicide. That’s a wake up call to the others to start living their lives.
Cast: David Giuntoli (Grimm). James Roday (Psych). Romany Malco (Weeds).Christina Ochoa (Valor). Christina Moses (The Originals). Anne Son. Allison Miller. Stephanie Szostak.

A Million Little Things was spotted all over metro Vancouver from a big house in Shaughnessy, to St. Jame’s Church in the downtown eastside to the penthouse of the Keefer Street Hotel.

The CW’s CHARMED
The Charmed reboot is the frontrunner at The CW, according to the TV trades.
What’s it about?
Three sisters in the college town of Hilltowne University discover they are witches.
Macy (Madeleine Mantock), Mel (Melonie Diaz) and Maggie Vera (Vancouver’s own Sarah Jeffery) are similar to Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell from the original Charmed series, but there is one modern twist — middle sister Mel (Diaz) is a lesbian.
Original Charmed trio.
From the filming in Vancouver we’ve seen the Vera house is a Victorian in New Westminster and we know that the fictional college in the pilot is Hilltowne University.

Charmed used the same New Westminster house for exteriors as Witches of East End.
Hilltowne University played by the University of British Columbia.
