Both shows also have interesting pedigrees, with Dangerous Women reuniting a troika of actresses from a cult favorite and Fusion being backed by an accomplished science-fiction writer.
Ellen Sandweiss, Betsy Baker and Theresa Tilly, the three female leads from Sam Raimi‘s 1981 camp-horror classic The Evil Dead, star in Dangerous Women as suburban housewives, though despite a long voice-over introduction in episode one, this trio seems to live a long way from Wisteria Lane. The first episode is nearly all expository information, until a shadowy figure is seen behind Sandweiss in the final scene. The multi-genre series from writer-producer David O’Malley and director Lee Miller claims to be “part hyper-drama, with tantalizing doses of horror, suspense, satire, soap opera, fantasy and even sci-fi.”
According to the synopsis available on the Strike.TV site, the three women – Cheryl, Linda and Shelly, in a nod to the 80’s classic – will battle “sadistically evil doubles” in future episodes. It is pretty safe to say that those battles won’t be over who brings orange wedges to the soccer game.
The Fusion pilot is available already on the show’s web site, fusiontheseries.com and on Strike.TV. Future episodes, according to the creators, will be produced when production funds can be raised.
