Christian Slater to return to TV - For How Long? Who Knows?

Guess who's coming back to ABC? Christian Slater. Last season he stared in a drama series "My Own Worst Enemy", which I really enjoyed. But as usual, if I like a show, the network seems to cancel it after one season, which is very irritating.

Slater is best known for his work in the films "Heathers," "Pump Up the Volume," "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," "Broken Arrow," "True Romance," "Untamed Heart" and "Bed of Roses."

Now he's set to star in "The Forgotten," producer Jerry Bruckheimer's first series for the network.

In the show, which debuts Sept. 22, Slater plays Alex Donovan, who leads "U.S. actor Christian Slater, who starred in last season's short-lived drama series "My Own Worst Enemy," is returning to television in a new show, ABC said.


"In the United States, the remains of over 40,000 people have yet to be identified. When police investigations reach a dead end, civilian volunteers across the country work to name the forgotten," ABC said in a news release. "After the police have exhausted all leads, a group of volunteers led by Alex Donovan must first solve the puzzle of the victim's identity in order to then help catch the killer."
