This year’s television development season has been about one thing: adaptations. Whether it be Minority Report or Hitch, it seems when it comes to the big four (five counting The CW), all anyone wants this year are name properties. However, the latest property to join the pack  has us intrigued, if for no other reason than the who behind the script in question. According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC has given a script commitment plus penalty for an adaptation of the 2000 time-travel-esque father/son mystery thriller, Frequency. But, the best part? It’s coming from current Supernatural showrunner, Jeremy Carver.

The plot synopsis of the series, according to the outlet, is as follows: “NBC’s Frequency is described as a character-driven drama in which an NYPD detective connects with his son, 30 years in the future. The two must work together to change the history of tragic events to come, while also getting the chance to heal their complicated relationship.” This essentially puts a reversal twist on the Dennis Quaid film – the writer of which, Toby Emmerich, will serve as executive producer on the new series – that saw Quaid as a firefighter that connects with his detective son in the future.

While we’re all for a new show from anyone who was, is or will ever be attached to one of our favorite CW show, it’s unclear at this time what will happen to Carver’s position in the writers room should Frequency go to series. It’s not uncommon for writer/producers to take on more than one showrunner position these days, but we have no doubt Frequency’s going to be a show with a heavy mythology that’ll require some world building, and that’s going to leave Carver stretched thin, especially when he’s already attached to re-develop a spin-off for the famed monster based procedural later this year.
