E! Entertainment is expanding into scripted programming with a development slate of nine one-hour series from well-known producers like John Wells and Kevin Spacey, the network announced Monday ahead of its upfront presentation in New York.

The network's first scripted series will premiere in 2013.

Wells' project, Anne of Hollywood, resets the story of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII in present-day Hollywood

Spacey's Upstarts follows three dreamers seeking wealth and glory in Silicon Valley's gold rush of the late 1990s.

Other series in development are Amy Devlin Mysteries, based on the graphic novel of the same name, about a 20-something detective who brings her own style to police work

the Wizard of Oz-inspired Dorothy, about a girl from Kansas City who falls for a man and moves with him to the Emerald City to work at his hotel

Fascination Street, a then-and-now look at two brothers who were trying to make their band a success and are now trying to find out who is behind the disappearance of their lead singer.

The 400 follows the rise of the Vanderbilt dynasty in 1890s New York

Juror #9 is about a man who accidentally kills a woman who is blackmailing him, frames someone else for the murder, and winds on the jury for the case

a self-made billionaire with a penchant for hooking up with D.C. lobbyists is the focus of King David

and a group of executive assistants plot their way up the corporate ladder in Untitled Asistant Project.

I have no interest in yet another adaptation of Wizard of Oz.

Some of those sound a little expensive for E, although this is just development.

I think E only had one scripted show - it was an anthology show in the late 90's. I can't remember the name.

These all sound horrible.

Isnt any kind of reality show on E already scripted? All those Kardasian shows all seem so fake lol.
