CBS debuted the first trailer for the upcoming All Access series “Tell Me a Story” on Sunday, giving a first glimpse into the show’s modern-day update of classic fairy tales.
The series, which comes from “Scream” writer Kevin Williamson, takes the world’s most beloved stories and reimagines each as a cryptic and twisted psychological thriller set in modern-day New York City.
The trailer reveals that the series will be a much darker take on the fairy tales than “Once Upon a Time” and more grounded than NBC’s “Grimm,” instead re-interpreting the stories as real-life adventures.
“Tell Me a Story” is set to premiere on Halloween, October 31, on CBS All Access, with new episodes to be released each Thursday.
