Gender non-conforming drama Glamorous is dead at The CW

Deadline

The Damon Wayans Jr.-produced pilot starring Brooke Shields and Ben J. Pierce about a gender non-conforming recent high school graduate who lands the gig of a lifetime interning at a cosmetics company is dead at The CW. "Pierce delivered a breakout performance in the pilot and is considered a star on the rise," reports Deadline's Nellie Andreeva. "Despite some shortcomings of the pilot, I hear the CW executives were very high on its potential and tried hard to get it picked up series. But with a whopping 14 renewed and 3 new scripted series, getting another pickup proved an uphill battle. The options on the cast expire this weekend and with that comes the official end of the road for the pilot."
