\"slay<\/p>\n

A witty teen with a sharp sense of fashion and even sharper instincts uses her supernatural powers to defend her town from the forces of darkness. Sound familiar? It seems like\u00a0Regina King<\/strong> is drawing inspiration from one famous Slayer for a new CW series\u00a0Slay<\/em><\/strong>, a Black-led supernatural teen drama that the Emmy and Oscar-winning actress \u2013 who recently made her feature directorial debut with the acclaimed\u00a0One Night in Miami\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 is developing.<\/p>\n

Variety<\/a> reports that King is set to executive produce\u00a0Slay<\/em>, a supernatural drama series currently in development at the CW. The series follows Carson Jones, \u201ca bold, witty teenager with afro puffs, leather boots, seventies cool, and \u2013 thanks to her mother\u2019s ancient African bloodline \u2013 supernatural gifts and the responsibility to use them to protect Virginia\u2019s Historic Triangle (one of the most haunted areas in the country) from the forces of darkness.\u201d
\nJulian Johnson will write and co-executive produce Slay<\/em>, with Pam Veasey supervising and executive producing. Regina and her sister Reina King will executive produce via their production company, Royal Ties. CBS Television Studios will produce.<\/p>\n

King has been on a hot streak for the past few years, winning the fourth Emmy of her career with her starring role\u2019s in HBO\u2019s\u00a0Watchmen<\/em> last year, right on the heels of her wins for\u00a0American Crime<\/em> and\u00a0Seven Seconds<\/em>. She earned an Oscar last year too, for best supporting actress in\u00a0If Beale Street Could Talk<\/em>. And it seems like she is going to keep that streak going strong, making her feature directorial debut with\u00a0One Night in Miami<\/em>, which earned acclaim at its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, and taking on increasingly active roles as a producer.<\/p>\n

The project also reunites King with Veasey, the former showrinner of\u00a0CSI: New York<\/em> and\u00a0CSI: Cyber<\/em>, who wrote an ABC pilot two years ago which King had directed and executive produced.<\/p>\n

Slay<\/em> is just the latest TV project for King, having long worked both in front of and behind the camera, and it\u2019s satisfying that she\u2019s using her growing influence to boost Black-led projects \u2014 especially Black-led projects that cater to teens who love supernatural shows. Not all projects headlined by Black actors and creators have to be \u201cimportant,\u201d and it\u2019s refreshing to see such an accomplished figure like King put her weight behind shows that could inspire a whole new generation of teens \u2014 and maybe become the next\u00a0Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em> instead of a tired race-bent rehash.<\/p>\n
