    You have the next low budget Netflix teen supernatural / fantasy / romance / horror / drama / latest ripoff of BtVS right there. Either filmed in England and set in England or filmed in Canada, but set in the US.

    Got to get some unknown but super hot gen Zer to play the dragon boy… Who obviously is a normal hot boy who shapeshifts into a dragon. He’s either orphaned and doesn’t know he’s a dragon and is “Why are these weird things happening to me? Oh god I’m a monster!! Better not talk to my friends about this cuz they might reject me!” OR, he’s like the black sheep of his super rich dragon family, hanging out with and dating humans while his dragon parents are all super judgy about it. He either has a hot dragon sister who tries to sabotage his relationships and is mean and condescending to everyone only to turn out to be an actually pretty cool person in season 2 when she ends up dating the <highschool quarterback / nerdy head of the science club / nerdy film club kid / possibly the youngish hot teacher if she’s older>. OR he has the aloof, loyal to the family, arrogant older dragon brother who turns out to be an actually pretty cool person in season 2 when he ends up dating the <highschool quarterback / gay best friend / grungy band kid>.

    Meanwhile the redhead girls are sisters who are actually <witch / vampire / werewolf / fairies> and are in a complicated will they / won’t they love triangle with the hot dragon boy (which wouldn’t be so complicated if the characters would just have honest, open conversations with each other instead of hiding from their feelings and lying to each other constantly about everything). They can’t be with the hot dragon boy anyway, because <contrived nonsensical reason that witch / vampire / werewolf / fairies can’t be with dragons>. In spite of that, their gay dads (who are concealing some terrible secret that’s not actually terrible and not actually that secret, but we won’t find that out until season 2 or 3) are super supportive of their romantic choices and just want them to be happy no matter what, in spite of the pressure they’re getting from the <coven / conclave / high council / fairy court> to make sure their daughters follow “the Code / Pact” and don’t fraternize with dragons (This could mean war with the dragons or something, or opening a portal to hell, or…who the fuck knows… The audience certainly doesn’t know why, and won’t find out until the season 1 finale, probably because filming started on the first five episodes before the writers figured out what it actually means).

    Whichever sister ends up with the dragon boy (probably not until halfway into season 2, you gotta milk these things as long as possible), the other sister will get a hot boy / girl toy as a consolation prize. That character is either a best friend / sidekick who has been there from episode 1 “just waiting for them to notice” OR is introduced in the first episode of season 2., in which case they’re either a totally normal mundane human (and wiley shenanigans will ensue to hide the supernatural world from them as long as possible) OR they appear to be a totally normal mundane human until the BIG REVEAL that they are a <demon / warlock / dragonslayer knight> working for / a sworn enemy of the <coven / conclave / high council / fairy court>.

    Anyway, pitch that at Netflix, they’ll probably make it.

      Hey is your user name in anyway related to the writings of Victoria Goddard? The hunter in green is a character, and im just reading about mentions of a bard or maybe the bard, who is tied into the same goddess or magi as the hunter in green. Just curious.

      Mine name is related to a Kurt Vonnegut book fwiw.

        No, my username is my stage name from another life. One of the most interesting questions I’ve ever gotten about it though in over 20 years of using it.
