Before he created “Veronica Mars,” Rob Thomas created the brilliant but short-lived 1998 Jeremy Piven/Paula Marshall ABC comedy hourlong “Cupid,” about a fellow who believes himself the god of love and the pretty psychotherapist assigned to treat him.
ABC is letting Thomas try again. The network just greenlit a pilot for a new “Cupid” series with the same creator/showrunner, the same basic concept and a different cast.
Thomas is also actively developing a “Beverly Hills 90210” sequel for The CW.
“Cupid,” the brilliant ‘90s Jeremy Piven comedy hourlong about a feller who believed he was the god of love, may be coming back to ABC with series creator Rob Thomas back at the helm.
Piven, sadly, likely won’t be back if the show goes to series as he is busy playing agent Ari Gold on HBO’s “Entourage.”
Thomas, for those unaware, also masterminded the equally brilliant “Veronica Mars,” which in May completed its third and final season for The CW.
