ABC Family is developing a new series titled “Shadows,” about a secret program at Harvard designed to train a new generation of spies.

The project was created by Jesse Peyronel, who will serve as an executive producer.

The show revolves around faculty and students involved in the spy program and represents one of several scripted shows the network has on its development slate.

Executive producers are George Tillman Jr., Matthew Pritzker and Robert Teitel of State Street along with co-creator Rene Rigal and Mal Young.

Peyronel sold the show “Illuminati” to ABC last year and wrote the short film “Swimming Out to Holly.” He is repped by CAA and Generate.

Gold Circle Films is moving forward on a third installment in its “Haunting” franchise. Next stop is Gotham.

Company has hired Sean Hood to write “The Haunting in New York,” which follows on the heels of last year’s “The Haunting in Connecticut” and the soon-to-lense “The Haunting in Georgia.”

Gold Circle is keeping the logline of the latest installment under wraps but said it will be based on a true story like the other two films.

“Haunting in Connecticut” earned $77 million worldwide and spawned “Haunting in Georgia,” which Tom Elkins will begin helming in August. Gold Circle noted that neither “Georgia” nor “New York” are sequels to “Connecticut” and instead are self-contained films with unique characters.

Paul Brooks will produce “New York” and Scott Niemeyer and Norm Waitt will exec produce. Brad Kessell is overseeing development for Gold Circle.
