Exclusive: Women’s advocacy organization WeForShe has revealed its 2020 list of top unproduced, female-written TV scripts. Scroll down for the list in full.
According to organizers, the sixth WriteHer List came from hundreds of nominations by network and studio execs, showrunners, producers and directors.
Submissions of comedy scripts surged this year, the org said, with almost half the list being comprised of half-hour dramedy, or multi-cam scripts. Ya, procedural, sci-fi and family drama were also popular.
Some projects are already being set up, the firm said. Bliss is with Participant, CBS TV Studios is attached to Coma Girl from actress and writer Liz Vassey (who starred in and got a writing start on CBS’s CSI) and Rocket Jump is attached to produce Space Trash.

The final season of Arrow is doing a good job of setting up the “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover event, but isn’t remiss in giving Oliver Queen his ultimate swansong as the hero that started it all.
The green-hooded vigilante of Star City has been going through quite an emotional ordeal over the last couple of episodes. In a quest to save the world and assist the Monitor in preparing the multiverse for the upcoming crisis, Oliver and his team have also been collecting fragments of the truth about the cosmic being who goes by the name of Mar Novu.
In doing so, the Green Arrow has yet to face betrayal from a familiar character, and now, the official synopsis for the last midseason finale of Arrow, titled “Purgatory,” teases the return of Team Arrow to Lian Yu.

Although it was confirmed last week that Arrow will be hanging it up following its ten-episode eighth season, it’s important we not forgot that we still have a solid chunk of the current broadcast year remaining. That said, we’re going to take a closer look at tonight’s episode, “Training Day,” before it kicks off.
If you’re current on the show, then you’re well aware of how Oliver Queen was officially sanctioned by the Star City Police Department around the midseason mark, with other members of Team Arrow likewise being given the privilege several weeks ago. With that in mind, get ready to see them going through the requisite motions no different than other cops.
As you can see in the gallery below, our heroes wear some Scpd issued threads in a boatload of photos. Living up to the title of “Training Day,” I’m guessing that Rene Ramirez,...

After taking a few weeks off, Arrow sure did make one hell of an impact with last night’s returning episode, that being “Brothers & Sisters.” Not only did we finally meet the mysterious villain known as Dante (and learn that Emiko is in collusion with him!), but someone burned Ricardo Diaz alive in his cell at Argus. And if that weren’t enough, we also found out that Felicity Smoak is pregnant.
I guess there was really no better time to drop that bomb on the fans because Mia Aka Blackstar has been detailing her lineage in the flash forward segments. And when you do the math, she’d have to be conceived around this time in order to be of fitting age in the future of 2040.
Previously, the notion of an “Olicity” baby had been repeatedly shot down by producers, but it’s understandable they wouldn’t confirm...

Ever since Oliver Queen got out of prison, the Arrow landscape has changed quite drastically. Not only has he been officially sanctioned by the Star City Police Department, but more recently, the rest of his team have been deputized as well. Seeing as how they’re vigilantes with secret identities no more, you have to admit how different the status quo has become.
From the look of it, this shaky alliance will get even, well, shakier when “Training Day” graces our screens in a matter of weeks. Here, take a look at the official synopsis and see for yourself:
Team Arrow Attempts To Work With Scpd — Team Arrow attempts to work with the Star City Police Department but much to Oliver’s (Stephen Amell) frustration, things don’t go as planned. Meanwhile, Dinah (Juliana Harkavy) gets some life-changing news. Ruba Nadda directed the episode written by Emilio Ortega Aldrich & Rebecca Rosenberg...
