NBC Picks Up 4 More Pilots: Drama From 'Lone Star' Creator, 3 Comedies



UPDATED: NBC has picked up to pilot REM, the spec by Lone Star creator Kyle Killen which was taken out by 20th TV a couple of weeks ago. Additionally, the network has given the green light to 3 more comedy pilots: Free Agents, LoveLives and an untitled project from Dan Goor.

Killen's REM, from 20th TV, is described as an Inception-style thriller about a cop who wakes up after an accident to find he is living in two different realities. The project has been given a cast-contingent order. As expected, new NBC chief Bob Greenblatt has been very opportunistic with spec scripts, handing out a significant chunk of his pilot orders to project brought to the network as specs.

Free Agents, from UMS and Party Down co-creator John Enbom, is a single-camera romantic comedy based on the U.K. format  that explores the attraction between two quirky co-workers who are both on the rebound, one from a divorce and the other from the loss of a fiancé. While in the original series, which ran on Channel 4 in 2009, the lovebirds were agents, in the NBC version they will be PR executives. Enbom is executive producing with Kenton Allen from Big Talk Prods., producer of the British series. Todd Holland and Karey Burke are also exec producing through their UMS-based company, with Holland directing. The comedy has been given a cast-contingent order.

LoveLives, from 20th TV and Chernin Entertainment, is a multicamera comedy about a couple who explore cheating on their spouse and the friends/family members around them who encourage it. Family Guy executive producer Chris Sheridan wrote the script and is exec producing with Peter Chernin and Katherine Pope.

The untitled Dan Goor project, from UMS and BermanBraun, is a multicamera comedy about a young doctor who joins his parents' medical practice and spends as much time tending to his family as to his patients. It was was written by Dan Goor (Parks & Recreation) who is exec producing with Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun.

NBC's 'Playboy' Pilot Casts Two Bunnies



Amber Heard (Zombieland) and Naturi Naughton (Fame) are set as leads in the NBC drama pilot Playboy. The project, from 20th TV/Imagine TV, is set at the Playboy Club in Chicago in 1963. CAA-repped Heard, who had been in talks for the project, will play Maureen, a new hire at the club, originally an orphan from Fort Wayne, an inquisitive young woman with an untethered sexuality and a dark past. Naughton, repped by Innovative and Luber Roklin, will play Brenda, a stunning African-American Bunny determined to become the first black Playboy centerfold who is Maureen's confidante and roommate in the Bunny Dormitory. Interestingly, she also played a 1960s Black Playboy bunny in the Hands and Knees episode of Mad Men last year. Alan Taylor, who directed the pilot for AMC's Mad Men, is directing Playboy from a script by Chad Hodge.

NBC Picks Up Period Western Drama Pilot, Gives Formal Green Light To 'Prime Suspect'



NBC is saddling up for The Crossing, picking up to pilot a period Western from Peter Horton. Additionally, the network has officially greenlit its adaptation of the British classic Prime Suspect, which had been rolled over from last season.

The Crossing (form. Reconstruction) was originally developed at FX where it was set up in 2009. The drama, written by St. Elsewhere co-creator Josh Brand, is set in a Missouri town during the post-Civil War Reconstruction era and centers on Jason, a Civil War soldier who crosses the country and settles into a complicated town where he is welcomed as its savior -- whether he likes it or not. Brand and Horton are exec producing, with Horton set to direct. This is the second period drama pilot ordered by NBC  this season, along with the 1960s Playboy.

Prime Suspect, from UMS and ITV Studio, centers on an iconoclastic female detective who has to make her bones in a tough New York precinct that is dominated by men. The pilot was originally picked up last season but was pushed after difficulties casting the lead. The adaptation was also given a revamp with a new producing team, Peter Berg and Sarah Aubrey of Film 44, and new writer, Alexandra Cunningham, coming on board. The three are executive producing the pilot, with Berg also set to direct. The Crossing and Prime Suspect join an untitled comedy pilot from Kari Lizer, which was picked up earlier today as NBC is wrapping its orders.

CBS Picks Up Rob Schneider Comedy Pilot And Sitcom From Jeff & Jackie Filgo



CBS has given the green light to two family comedy pilots, an untitled project starring Rob Schneider and Home Grown, from That '70s Show alums Jeff and Jackie Filgo. This marks the second pilot for the Filgos, who have also come on board Marisa Coughlan's multicamera comedy pilot for ABC Lost and Found as executive producers/showrunners. Both pilots are from Warner Bros. TV.

The untitled Rob Schneider project, from CBS TV Studios and the Tannenbaum  Co., was written by Schneider and fellow Saturday Night Live alum Lew Morton. It is based on Schneider's life and centers on a solitary guy who marries into a huge Mexican-American family. The project originally landed at CBS in October with a script commitment. Morton, Eric and Kim Tannenbaum (Two and a Half Men) are executive producing, with Schneider and his brother John Schneider producing through their From Out of Nowhere Prods. This marks Schneider's first TV series gig in 13 years. He last did a series in the 1996-97 season, NBC's comedy Men Behaving Badly. Schneider has since been focused on films, most recently co-starring in Grown Ups.

Jeff and Jackie Filgo's Home Grown is a multicamera comedy about a blue collar man who wrestles with how to parent his unmarried grown daughter and her 12-year-old son while sharing a house with them, his wife and his recently widowed mother. The Filgos wrote the script and are exec producing. Beth Lacke serves as consultant.

Reply 678#678 bala's post

it was good ratings but The Chicago Code and Harry's Law demo in the 18-49 category was poor and it has already put them in danger of getting cancelled, plus Chuck got the same demo as Harry's Law in the 18-49 category but I cant honestly see NBC cancel all their shows.

Rachel Bilson To Star In The CW's Dixie Pilot



Rachel Bilson will reunite with The O.C. creator-executive producer Josh Schwartz this pilot season after all: The actress is close to a deal to star in Hart Of Dixie, The CW’s hourlong pilot produced by the Gossip Girl duo of Schwartz and Stephanie Savage.

Hart Of Dixie is a comedic drama centered on a young New York City doctor (Bilson) who inherits a medical practice in a small Southern town inhabited by an eclectic and eccentric group of characters.

Earlier this development season, Bilson was attached to star in Ghost Angeles, a supernatural romantic comedy for NBC co-written by Schwartz; that pilot ultimately didn’t go forward.

Bilson previously has done arcs on Schwartz’s NBC dramedy Chuck as well as CBS’ How I Met Your Mother, where she played a love interest for Ted Mosby.

Pilot Castings: 'Lost' Alum Henry Ian Cusick, 'My Boys' Co-Star Kyle Howard Get Leads



Lost veteran Henry Ian Cusick is returning to ABC with a lead role on the network's untitled Shonda Rhimes pilot. Katie Lowes (CW's Easy Money) has also joined the project, which revolves around the life and work of professional fixer Olivia Price (Kerry Washington) and her dysfunctional staff. Innovative-repped Cusick will play what is considered by some the male lead on the show, a handsome, intense and brilliant litigator who works for Olivia. Cusick started off as a recurring on Lost, landing a guest starring Emmy nomination for his role as former Scottish solder Desmond Hume, before getting promoted to regular in Season 3 of the island drama. Lowes, repped by Innovative and Sweeney Management, will play an ambitious and naive young lawyer recruited by Olivia to work for her. Lowes guest starred in this season's opener of Rhimes' Private Practice.

My Boys co-star Kyle Howard has been tapped as the male lead in the ABC multi-camera comedy pilot Smothered, from Andrew Reich and Ted Cohen. The project centers on young couple Zack (Howard) and Gillian who find themselves smothered by their two very different sets of parents. Howard, who recently signed with UTA, played one of the leads in the pilot for NBC's Perfect Couples but had to pull out after the pilot was picked up to series because of his commitment to TBS' My Boys.

Scottie Thompson (Trauma, NCIS) has landed one of the two leads in Ed Bernero's pilot for ABC Partners, a cop drama centered on two female police detectives, Mattie (Thompson) and Jess, who are fiercely loyal to one another since they're also secretly half-sisters.
