Prolific producer Greg Berlanti is developing a drama for ABC based on "The Thousandth Floor," the upcoming series of young-adult novels by Katharine McGee.

Debuting in 2017 from HarperTeen, the futuristic "The Thousandth Floor" is set in a supertower on Manhattan's Upper East Side, where a young woman's fall from the 1,000th floor sparks a scandal that ensnares both the building's top-floor elite and the lower-dwelling drones.

Maggie Friedman ("Witches of East End") will write the script and executive produce alongside Berlanti ("Arrow," "The Flash," "Supergirl"). The project hails from Warner Bros. Television, Berlanti Productions and Alloy Entertainment.
