What's New With David Greenwalt.

[nerd4hire]

I always thought it was strange the way Buffy fans seem to ignore David Greenwalt considering the kind of influence he had on both Buffy and Angel.

For those of us who care though, I guess he's not on Surface anymore. (was it cancelled?). Here's what he's doing now.

'Kidnapped' captures exec
Sony nabs Greenwalt for fall drama

David Greenwalt

"Angel" co-creator David Greenwalt has nabbed a deal for "Kidnapped," inking with Sony Pictures Television to come aboard as showrunner and exec producer of the NBC fall drama.

Michael Dinner-helmed "Kidnapped," which stars Jeremy Sisto and Dana Delany, snagged an unusually early greenlight from the Peacock last month. Net has ordered 13 episodes of the skein created by Jason Smilovic.

Greenwalt will work closely with Smilovic, who exec produced the "Kidnapped" pilot along with Dinner and Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly of Sony-based 25 C Prods.

As part of his deal to join "Kidnapped," Greenwalt has landed a premium blind script commitment from Sony for future development.

"Kidnapped" features Sisto as a kidnapping expert who works outside the legal system to retrieve those who've been snatched. Each season of the show will feature a different victim.

In addition to co-creating "Angel" with Joss Whedon, Greenwalt -- repped by Kaplan-Stahler-Gumer-Braun -- was an original writer-producer on Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

More recently, Greenwalt developed Showtime pilot "The Bastard" and was showrunner for the UPN drama "Jake 2.0" and ABC's "Miracles." He's currently working as a consulting producer for Sci Fi Channel's upcoming skein "Eureka."

I'm thinking Surface must be done...it was watchable, but pretty damn silly.

This looks something like a 24 redux, or Prison Break, which is OK. Seems like the lead here may be sort of a Jack Bauer-style rogue operator.

It's a bummer that so much of the recent TV sci-fi/fantasy has tanked, but it's cool that serialized, arc-heavy, experimental shows are still "the hot new thing" for next fall. Good luck to DG.

[Whedonesque] Eureka! Is apparently David Greenwalt's new show.

Although the credit isn't even showing up on IMDB yet, Tuesday's episode of the new Sci Fi Channel show 'Eureka' has David credited as consulting producer.

I just noticed David Greenwalt's producer credit after watching ep 2 of Eureka tonight, hence my moving the above news item to this thread. It looks like a pretty good show to me...
