SARA PEZZINI WITH THE WITCHBLADE
NBC is bringing Sara Pezzini and the Witchblade to network TV. TVLINE reports that NBC is developing a Witchblade series based off of the Top Cow comic book.
Witchblade centers around a homicide detective named Sara Pezzini who comes across an ancient artifact called the Witchblade which gives her supernatural powers and supernatural enemies. The pilot will be written by Caroline Dries, the showrunner of the Vampire Diaries. Also Carol Mendelsohn, producer of CSI will executive produce the series.
Yancy Butler as Sara Pezzini
This isn't the first time that Witchblade has been adapted for television. For two seasons on TNT from 2001 to 2002, Yancy Butler portrayed the character.
In the 15 years since that show was cancelled, comic book movies and TV shows have exploded. Also with the initiative to have women in stronger roles on screen, Witchblade could be an incredible success for NBC just like Supergirl on the CW.
