Joey Dakota was a proposed pilot for a 2012 romantic time-travel musicl TV show based on the Israeli show Danny Hollywood. Sadly, The CW didn’t pick it up for the fall season, and I’m not sure whether it ever aired as a TV movie. However, here’s what Vincent Terrace had to say about the fated pilot in his Encyclopedia of Unaired Television Pilots, 1945–2018:
Maya Beaumont is a young woman who works as a documentary film maker. When she is assigned to a project involving Joey Dakota, a 1990s music superstar, she is mysteriously transported back in time where she meets and later falls in love with the subject of her film. However, just as mysteriously as she was propelled back in time, she is whisked back to the present where, during her absence, she learns that Joey has been killed in a car accident. The pilot, which incorporates flashbacks to the 1990s, follows Maya as she seeks a way to return to the past and rewrite history to save Joey’s life in the future.

  1. Credits—A listing of 2012 pilots for the CW shows that the writer was Bert Royal and the director was Allan Arkush. And tedy.com shows Yoav Tsafir and Ori Gross to be the creators of the Israeli show that underlies Joey Dakot. Apart from being a producer, we don’t know what other role Tmira Yardeni (listed at the IMDb may have had, so we have listed her as having made other contributions.
  2. Release—We’re unsure whether this TV pilot was ever aired, but we list it as mid-2012 based on the date (6 April 2012) when shooting wrapped up and the start of the fall TV season, by which time The CW would have moved on to other things.
