ABC hasn’t had much luck with shows of the supernatural kind. If you’re familiar with the network’s shows The Gates, Eastwick and the recent The River, you’ll know that shows of this genre don’t last long.
The Alphabet is giving it another go with their new series 666 Park Avenue (premiering this fall) and as far as we can tell, it looks promising.
666 has a stellar cast which includes stars from their various previous hit series’. Terry O’Quinn (LOST), Vanessa Williams (Desperate Housewives) and Dave Annable (Brothers & Sisters) all star in the new drama.
Below is the synopsis provided by ABC.
At the ominous address of 666 Park Avenue, anything you desire can be yours. Everyone has needs, desires and ambition. For the residents of The Drake, these will all be met, courtesy of the building’s mysterious owner, Gavin Doran (Terry O’Quinn). But every Faustian contract comes with a price. When Jane Van Veen (Rachael Taylor) and Henry Martin (Dave Annable), an idealistic young couple from the Midwest, are offered the opportunity to manage the historic building, they not only fall prey to the machinations of Doran and his mysterious wife, Olivia (Vanessa Williams), but unwittingly begin to experience the shadowy, supernatural forces within the building that imprison and endanger the lives of the residents inside. Sexy, seductive and inviting, The Drake maintains a dark hold over all of its residents, tempting them through their ambitions and desires, in this chilling new drama that’s home to an epic struggle of good versus evil.
