Starring Billy Magnussion, Kim Cattrall, and The Vampire Diaries alum Paul Wesley, Tell Me a Story interweaves the three fairy tales of Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, and Hansel and Gretel into a serialized drama that will premiere exclusively on CBS' streaming service. From the trailer, we can see iconography from these fairy tales in the form of bank robbers' pig masks, a young woman's red raincoat that she refuses from her mother (Cattrall), and a butchered pig head. We get it; pigs look creepy.
Based on the Spanish fantasy series, Cuéntame un cuento, Tell Me A Story features several alumni of Williamson's hit shows, including The Vampire Diaries' Paul Wesley and The Originals' Danielle Campbell. The Tell Me A Story cast is rounded out by James Wolk, Dania Ramirez, Sam Jaeger, Davi Santos, Zabryna Guevara, and Dorian Missick.
