ABC Family Presents ‘10 Things I Hate About You’
July 7, 2009 by Chandra
A new sitcom launches on basic cable’s ABC Family tonight (July 7) at 8pm ET, this one a TV-comedy treatment of the 1999 flick 10 Things I Hate About You, starring Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles.
The television version of that movie sports the same name and a similar premise, and it stars Aliens in America alumna Lindsey Shaw, along with Larry Miller (Boston Legal, reprising his role from the earlier movie), Meaghan Jette Martin (Camp Rock), Dana Davis (Heroes), and Gregory Peck’s grandson Ethan Peck (That ’70s Show).
During tonight’s special 36-minute premiere, we meet Miller’s Walter Stratford, the over-protective father of daughters Kat (Shaw), an outspoken feminist, and Bianca (Martin), a dedicated social climber. The sisters are just starting to attend a new high school.
Meanwhile, Peck plays the requisite bad boy, Patrick Verona (the role Ledger originally portrayed on the silver screen), Davis plays head cheerleader Chastity Church, and Nicholas Braun (Princess Protection Program) plays nice guy Cameron James.
Take a look at the one-minute trailer for the series below and tune in for the extended pilot at 8pm ET on ABC Family.
10 Things I Hate About You will air Tuesdays on ABC Family at 8pm ET.
