TV Guide reports Matt Davis has been cast in the pilot episode of Cult, the potential new CW series from creator Kevin Williamson. This project reunites Williamson with his Vampire Diaries co-star. Should Cult get picked up, Davis will balance duties on both shows.
Cult stars Jessica Lucas, Robert Knepper and Alona Tal. The show finds Lucas playing a young production assistant, “a wildly popular television show called Cult [who] joins a journalist blogger (Davis) in investigating the rabid fans of the series who might be re-creating crimes seen on the program in real life,” says TV Guide.
The project is one of many new genre shows heading into production.
