Sex and the City creator Darren Star has sold a pilot drama to the new CW network, the broadcaster that will rise from the ashes of the WB and UPN networks.
Runaway centers on a family who, after the husband/father's murder conviction, decide to become fugitives in the hopes that they can buy him enough time to prove his innocence.
Star and Ed Zuckerman (NBC's Law & Order) are serving as executive producers on the project, while Chad Hodge (Fox's Tru Calling) is writing.
Runaway originally was developed at UPN and marks the CW's first drama pilot order. The network is a joint venture between Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp., which announced last month that they would fold their respective WB and UPN channels and relaunch a single network in the fall.

sounds interesting
**snaps his fingers, Thinking** hasn't this been done before back in the 50's? No, not the fugitive either...
ok weird
This does sound good. Hopefully the CW will deliever.
This one actually sounds interesting even though it's a recycled concept. Too bad it's on the CW network. They'll find a way to turn it into a combination of 7th Heaven and Buffy.
