Hindsight follows Becca (Laura Ramsey), a woman who gets the opportunity to change the direction of her life when she’s transported back to 1995, the year her life began going down the road it’s been on ever since. Hodges will portray Andy’s girlfriend Melanie, with Amedori as Becca’s younger brother Brady and Sidora as Paige, a former child actress who works at Becca’s local bar. Pennie is set to portray Xavier, a character that is a rewritten version of someone from the original pilot, while Herschman is slated to appear as malcontent film snob Sebastian.

Executive produced by Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly (Justified), Hindsight is the latest attempt at VH1 expanding their scripted presence. Currently, the network is home to dance team drama Hit the Floor, which recently wrapped a highly-rated second season, while flagship scripted drama Single Ladies was cancelled this past February before being revived by Centric.

Hindsight is set to premiere this coming January on VH1.

The series joins cheerleading drama Hit the Floor and relationship drama Single Ladies as scripted content on primarily reality-centric VH1, which has looked to expand its scripted presence in recent years. The network also acquired reruns of cult comedy Happy Endings late last year and has been airing the show on Wednesdays.

Hindsight could be an interesting experiment for VH1, a way of expanding its audience and the subject matter that can find a place on its schedule. Thus far, the network’s scripted series are pop culture savvy soaps with dramatic twists, scandalous hookups, and an ensemble focus. Hindsight, though, sounds like a singular, fantastical drama that addresses issues not found in either Hit the Floor or Single Ladies, a refreshing choice that could give VH1 more room to play around with regards to scripted development if the show manages to hit. Sounding like a combination of Being Erica and Drop Dead Diva, Hindsight is different enough to stand out on VH1’s schedule, but will it be broad enough to appeal to those who wouldn’t normally watch the network? And will it be enough in the VH1 wheelhouse to where the network faithful will tune in?

Further casting for Hindsight, as well as additional information, should be announced in the coming months.

Does Hindsight sound like something you would watch? Will a show with this type of concept be able to work on VH1? What other type of scripted shows would you like to see from the network?
