THE CW ORDERS NEW REALITY SERIES

“THE HUNT” AND “PERFECT SCORE”

December 12, 2012 (Burbank, California) ─ Continuing to add more year-round original programming, The CW has ordered two new reality series: THE HUNT, a thrilling, one-hour competition series, and PERFECT SCORE, a unique twist on finding the ideal mate, it was announced today by Mark Pedowitz, President, The CW.   Premiere dates will be announced at a later time.

THE HUNT is an intense wilderness competition taking place over one month, as 12 teams of two are provided no food, water, or shelter, but must compete in a game where they’ll rely on their physicality, survival skills, and hunting skills to endure their conditions, capture one another, and ultimately win a huge cash prize.  Executive produced by David Garfinkle (“Ready for Love”), Jay Renfroe (“Ready for Love”) and Greg Goldman (“Ready for Love”), THE HUNT is from Renegade 83 and Blackbird Television in association with Warner Horizon Television.

PERFECT SCORE puts a unique twist on dating game shows by not only giving players a chance to win a date, but also the opportunity to win cold hard cash — IF they can successfully identify their perfect match.  In each half-hour episode, two friends compete to see who can pick their ideal mate from a group of 12 prospective singles, after both the players and the contestants have taken compatibility tests.  These tests are used to assign cash values to each possible match, and the player who selects the most compatible single – with the highest cash value – wins the cash prize and the date!  Created and executive produced by Scott St. John (“America’s Got Talent,” “Deal or No Deal,”), PERFECT SCORE is from FremantleMedia North America (“American Idol,” “The X Factor,” “America’s Got Talent”).

CAST MEMBERS FROM THE CW’s NEW TELEVISION SERIES “THE CARRIE DIARIES”
help out fellow new yorkers by serving hot meals in the Rockaways

In an effort to help their fellow New Yorkers, cast members from “The Carrie Diaries” – a “Made in NY” television series that premieres Monday, January 14 at 8/7c on The CW – were on hand to help residents affected by Hurricane Sandy in the Rockaways on Saturday, December 8.

“The Carrie Diaries” cast members Matt Letscher, Freema Agyeman, Brendan Dooling and Stefania Owen helped serve hot meals to approximately 150 New Yorkers, with food donated by Warner Bros. Television, which produces the new one-hour drama. This is the latest of many efforts by the entertainment industry to lend its support to the City since the storm hit.

“The Carrie Diaries” stars AnnaSophia Robb as Carrie Bradshaw, an inquisitive and thoughtful teen coming of age in the suburbs, who is beckoned by the glamorous and gritty distant Manhattan as she maneuvers high school and asks her first questions about sex, love and loss. Based on the novel by Candace Bushnell and featuring a bright young cast, “The Carrie Diaries” — a one-hour drama from “Sex and the City” writer/co-producer Amy B. Harris and “Gossip Girl” executive producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage — is the origin story of how Carrie Bradshaw became Carrie Bradshaw.  The series premieres Monday, January 14 at 8/7c on The CW.

ADDITIONAL INFO

● The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment has reached out to the production industry regarding volunteer efforts and received an overwhelming response

● In the days immediately following the storm, more than 70 volunteers from “Made in NY” productions came out to volunteer at food and water distribution sites.

● Productions and industry-related businesses have also donated their time and resources in a variety of different ways since the storm hit New York City.

● The film and television production industry employs over 130,000 New Yorkers and contributed $7.1 billion to the City’s economy last year.

Investigative journalist Jeff Sefton has learned to laugh off his younger brother Nate’s relentless string of obsessions, especially his latest rant that a hit TV show intends to harm him.  However, when his brother mysteriously disappears, Jeff takes Nate’s paranoia seriously, and in the process uncovers the dark underworld of the TV series “Cult” and its rabid fans, who are obsessed with the show’s charismatic cult leader, Billy Grimm.  As the show’s gruesome plot twists begin to play out in the real world, Jeff enlists the help of a young research assistant Skye in a race to save Nate and unravel the mystery behind the TV series whose hardcore fans would literally kill to see what happens next…
