Paul Reubens, aka Pee-Wee Herman, will bring the CG character to life in the potential spin-off, our sister site Deadline reports.
The pilot presentation is told through the point of view of Alice (played by Sophie Lowe), who has a generous heart scarred by a hard life. Other characters featured in the project are Alice’s love interest Cyrus (Peter Gadiot), sardonic adventurer the Knave of Hearts (Being Human‘s Michael Socha) and the Red Queen (Hollyoaks‘ Emma Rigby). Barbara Hershey’s Cora may also appear if ABC picks up the limited series to bridge Once’s winter 2013-14 hiatus.
