Brace yourselves, you’re not going to be happy with I’m about to tell you. We’ve been reporting for a while that a series adaptation is in the works for the beloved 1987 vampire film The Lost Boys. Today we have an update. The CW’s series is going to be very different from the story we know and love. In fact, several characters are getting a gender swap, including the Frog brothers, originally played by Cory Feldman and Jamison Newlander. That’s right, the two vampire slayers are going to be girls in the series. Collider is reporting that the Frogs will now be named Cassie and Liza. Ugh (*facepalm).

Sink Your Teeth Into This Update On The Lost Boys Television Series

We reported back in August that The CW was adapting the beloved classic ‘The Lost Boys’ for a new television series. There has been little news since, until today. Rotten Tomatoes talked with Rob Thomas, the new series’ showrunner, at a Television Critics Association panel this past Sunday where he discussed the show. He revealed that the series was being eyed for a seven-season run, each depicting a different decade where the vampires will be the only ones to featured in each. The first season will be set in “1967 Summer of Love Haight-Ashbury”, Thomas said. He also told the site that we might get to see a crossover from the series and the original film. Vampires stay the same age, so those vampires that we meet in the ’80s in the original ‘Lost Boys’ movies could exist in the 1960s version,” Thomas said. “We could run into them there as well. We might not even have to wait until
