Once simply called
Oil, ABC renamed the series
Blood & Oil, probably
to add a bit of family drama and to probably make it sound more interesting than a drilling operation, or greasy hair show.
But maybe what the show should really be called from the looks of these series launch billboards is
'Rich White People'.
Obviously hoping to fill the Sunday night void left by
Revenge and its soapy scheming and dastardly plot twists,
Blood & Oil boasts some familiar faces including
Miami Vice's Don Johnson as a ruthless oil tycoon and
Amber Valletta (in all her
Revenge-y glory) as his wife.
Meanwhile
Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford and
Rebecca Rittenhouse are the young married couple hoping to strike it rich in this
North Dakota boomtown drama.
The teaser billboards for
Blood & Oil were first spied along
Highland Avenue on August 3 and later along
Sunset Boulevard, whilst the series premiere reveal billboards were snapped along
Venice Boulevard on August 27, plus above
Wilshire Boulevard and along
Sunset Boulevard through September 6, 2015.
Can
ABC's new show bring the sexiness, the secrets and the backstabbing (not to mention the slaps in the face) in the grand melodramatic tradition of
Dallas and
Dynasty?
TNT recently resurrected
Dallas only to have the revamped show bow out after three seasons, so can
Blood & Oil strike the big time, or will it be a big oozing mess. Tune in tonight and find out.
