The Disney-owned streamer has ordered a pilot for Foster Dade, a high school-set mystery from Berlanti and Bash Doran (Beef, The Looming Tower). The drama, based on the novel Foster Dade Explores the Cosmos by Nash Jenkins, has been in development for several months. It comes from Warner Bros. Television, where Berlanti has an overall deal. The logline for Foster Dade describes it as "a sophisticated mystery set at an East Coast boarding school that explores privilege, scandal, sexuality, and masculinity amid the rise of social media, millennial anxiety and pharmaceuticals."

While he has executive produced dozens of shows via his Berlanti Productions and has sometimes taken a creator or "developed by" credit on those series, his last writing credits were for early episodes of You in the late 2010s. (He'll also have a writing credit with Carly Wray on Stillwater, an upcoming Prime Video series based on the Skybound comic of the same name.) Doran is a two-time Writers Guild of America Award winner, earning honors with the rest of Beef's writers in 2024 and an individual award for episodic drama for Boardwalk Empire in 2012. Her credits also include the Netflix film Outlaw King, the BBC miniseries Life After Life and Showtime's Masters of Sex. Berlanti's ongoing series as an executive producer include NBC's Brilliant Minds and The CW's All American (which will end in 2025-26). He's also developing a family drama at HBO Max and exec producing a live-action Scooby-Doo series for Netflix along with Stillwater at Prime Video. Doran and Berlanti will executive produce Foster Dade with Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Donald De Line (via De Line Pictures), Robbie Rogers and Jenkins. Doran is repped by UTA, Untitled Entertainment and Schreck Rose. Berlanti is with CAA. De Line is repped by Erik Hyman at Paul Hastings.
