The Selection series by Kiera Cass is a Young Adult fantasy romance series about a girl who competes in a competition to marry the prince in a vaguely future dystopian Americas.

Around 2012, a pilot starring Aimee Teegarden was filmed for the series for the CW network, but never aired. The author reported on her blog that "while very strong, wasn't quite what people (not sure which people) thought it could be. " However, instead of just dropping it, the CW ordered a reshoot of the pilot. While Aimee Teegarden was originally reported to be staying on, the new pilot starring Yael Grobglas and Michael Malarkey was shot. Very short clips of the 2013 2.0 pilot have appeared on Youtube in the past. Scripts for both the 2012 and 2013 pilot have appeared online.

In 2020, Kiera Cass posted on her blog that Netflix would be moving forward with a movie adaptation directed by Haifaa Al-Monsour. Recently, on May 30th, 2023, Kiera announced on Twitter and her blog that the Selection movie would not be going forward.

Two years ago on r/lostmedia, someone posted searching for the pilot.

It looks like a Youtube channel, which has been posting many unaired pilots, posted the 2012 version of the pilot (it is marked as 2013 but this one seems to show the version with Aimee Teegarden). I haven't been able to watch it yet but I thought I'd post here in case anyone else was similarly interested/curious in this project (which unfortunately looks like an adaptation will not be coming soon), as well as to note the other unaired pilots on this users' channel.
