The script, on the other hand, will be written by Blotevogel herself. It is said to explore the greatest, deepest fears of human beings from a female's perspective. It will tackle issues like paranoia, insanity, jealousy, guilt, repression, and much more.
The women behind The CW's "Black Rose Anthology" are looking to change the idea that breaking into the horror genre is something that they cannot do.
According to Screen Rant, it may have the same feel as the 2010 film "Black Swan" and some seasons of "American Horror Story," where actresses like Lady Gaga and Sarah Paulson were featured in lead roles. However, with females also writing and directing the series, it is likely to become even more relatable to women in general.
"Black Rose Anthology" would also not find it difficult to fit in since The CW is quite known for their female-centric programming, with shows like "Supergirl," "Jane the Virgin," "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," "The Vampire Diaries," and a new series premiering this fall titled "Dynasty."
There is no information yet regarding the release date of the new horror anthology series. Viewers are advised to wait for more updates on the show's developments.
