Abrams, director of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and the hit creator of “Lost” will be returning to TV with a new science-fiction drama on HBO called “Demimonde”.According to The Hollywood Reporter, HBO dubs the series as an "epic and intimate sci-fi fantasy drama." The show is a family drama involving a scientist mother, her husband and their young daughter. There they must face the evil, monstrous force ruling this strange new world.A prolific writer-director-producer, Abrams’ last foray into television writing was with the sci-fi mystery “Fringe”, which ended back in 2013. Abrams’ shift away from Television recently was due to his focus on the big screen, being responsible for helping reboot the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises, alongside creating the “Cloverfield” films. Abrams is also currently working on a new Star Trek movie to be directed by Quentin Tarantino.“Demimonde” will be produced by Bad Robot Productions, Abrams' production company, in association with Warner Bros Television and HBO.
