Over on NBC, the Mad Men-esque Playboy pilot apparently has a good shot of getting the call as does Traffic screenwriter Stephen Gaghan’s Sila. They also have two magical themed pilots including Ronald Moore’s 17th Precinct, which is basically a magic themed police show. Apparently, though, another show called Grimm is currently outshining Moore’s. Wonder Woman is also on NBC but the pilot is still in production so no one has really made a decision yet.
ABC seems to be ready to roll on Charlie’s Angels as well as an Edgar Allen Poe themed show called Poe while CBS’s has Person of Interest, created by Jonah Nolan and starring Jim Caviezel. The show, about an assumed-to-be-dead-CIA officer who gets hired by a New York billionaire to solve crimes, “reportedly tested well but plays dark” giving it mixed buzz.
That’s just a small sampling of the shows the networks are considering giving a shot this coming Fall. Head over to Deadline to read about a ton more but first, are there any shows mentioned above you think we won’t see? Any you’re surprised are on the bubble already?
