'Dawson's Creek' creator returns with a new show

Kevin Williamson, who created "Dawson's Creek" for The WB, is bringing his latest project about angsty teenagers to the Frog's rival, UPN.
Williamson has received a pilot commitment from UPN for a drama set in the desert resort town of Palm Springs. The show will revolve around a troubled teenager who moves into a gated community in town and finds that its residents harbor some skeletons of their own, the showbiz trade papers report.
The untitled project isn't yet set up at a studio. Despite that fact, UPN snatched up the script after Jennifer Breslow, the network's director of drama development and a former colleague of Williamson's at Outerbanks Entertainment, passed it along to network president Dawn Ostroff.
Success with movies
After his success writing "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer," Williamson created "Dawson's Creek," which premiered on The WB in January 1998.
It quickly became one of the fledgling network's marquee shows and ran for six seasons (Williamson left the show in 1999 but returned to co-write the 2003 series finale).
His other TV series, ABC's "Wasteland" and The WB's "Glory Days," didn't fare as well, each lasting only a handful of episodes.
His movie credits include scripts for "The Faculty" and this year's werewolf movie "Cursed," in which he re-teamed with "Scream" director Wes Craven.
