Synopsis
From creator Paul Dini and executive producer Glen Morgan comes Tower Prep, an hour-long, live-action mystery. The series pilot was written by Dini and helmed by prolific television director Terry McDonough.
Tower Prep tells the story of Ian Archer - played by up-and-comer Drew Van Acker - a budding hero who wakes up one morning to find himself at a mysterious academy for teens with special abilities.
Unable to find answers to his questions from the school's faculty and cut off from any kind of outside contact or means of escape, Ian forms a secret group with fellow suspicious students Gabe Lexington Forrest (Ryan Pinkston), CJ Ward (Elise Gatien) and Suki Sato (Dyana Liu), intent on discovering what this place is and why they are there.
Throughout the series, the four friends make it their mission to uncover the mysteries behind Tower Prep and find a way to return to their normal lives.
The series is produced by Dolphin Entertainment and Cartoon Network Studios.
