Dollhouse.
That's the title, so far, according to an exclusive news flash from Michael Ausiello at TV Guide, for a new hour-long weekly offering from Joss and his Mutant Enemy production team - possibly to arrive on the schedule as early as next spring.
The best part is, Eliza Dushku will star and Tim Minear's probably also on board as producer!
Kick-muthafrakkin'-ass!
The (big) potential downside is that the development deal is with FOX - the network with a history of screwing over both Joss and Tim (royally). But Joss says he's always had a good working relationship with 20th Century Fox Television (the production company behind all three of his former shows), and he and Eliza are optimistic about the FOX network's support - they've ordered at least 7 episodes, when he only had a pilot concept.
The link to the TV Guide news is HERE, but I' m gonna c/p the Ausiello article with a brief blurb about the show's wildly intriguing concept (and with Joss and Eliza quotage!) under a cut:
Needless to say, the comment thread for the news link at Whedonesque is exploding - over 230 comments as of 7:30 AM ET.
I won't get my hopes up for any long-term success, based on FOX's track-record, but any kind of Joss-developed TV news is worthy of getting excited over, at least until we see how the network responds. The fact that Eliza has another starring vehicle is icing on the cake.
Kristen Bell is awesome.
