Written/co-executive produced by Paul Downs Colaizzo, LFE is described as a high-octane medical procedural centering on second-year residents at New York City’s top hospital as they attempt to balance their god complexes with their humanity. Dan Jinks executive produces.
Sneaky Pete hails from Sony Pictures TV, where Cranston has a first-look deal and Shore is under an overall pact. It centers on a thirty-something con man who, upon leaving prison, takes cover from his past by assuming the identity of a cellmate. “Sneaky Pete” then hides out from his debtors while working for his new “family’s” bail bond business. There he uses his considerable charm and criminal prowess to take down bad guys far worse than himself, partnering with a very attractive female “cousin” who has her suspicions about his real motives.
For Justice was based on James Patterson’s debut crime novel, The Thomas Berryman Number. The project hails from CBS Television Studios, James Patterson Entertainment, which has a first-look deal at the studio, and Tribeca.
The Edgar Award-winning book centers on a messianic hit man hired to assassinate the first black mayor of Nashville, triggering a desperate manhunt. Written by Balcer, For Justice will focus on the repercussions from the events in the novel in present day. It centers on an FBI agent who works in the Criminal Section of the Department of Civil Rights Division and finds herself caught between the radical family she was born into and the professional family she has chosen.
The series touches on the racial aspects of crime that have been stirring a national debate in the past few months with several high-profile cases, including the civil unrests in Ferguson, Missouri following the shooting Michael Brown, a young black man, by a white cop, and in New York following the accidental death of Eric Garner at the hands of NYPD cops.

CBS must really want a medical drama.
ReplyDeleteSneaky Pete sounds inteesting. They could cast Hugh Laurie for the lead.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't bode well for CSI, does it?
ReplyDeleteI'll pass medical dramas, but the other two sound interesting. Sneaky Pete the most.
ReplyDeleteSneaky Pete sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteCBS really wants a medical drama for next season, this is their third medical drama pilot.
ReplyDeleteIf Zachary Levi hadn't boarded Heroes Reborn, he would have been great for this. In his 30s with considerable charm -perfect for the character.
ReplyDeleteNot familiar with ZL work, didn't watch Chuck. But he seems to much of a good boy.
ReplyDeleteI was just going off on the character's description of having charm. ZL has got loads of it. :)
ReplyDeleteSo LFE is basically Trauma, this time on CBS and fully set in a hospital?
ReplyDeleteFor Justice could be intriguing, but it's on the wrong network. CBS is not that place for this concept.
Sneaky Pete is Revenge without the father's death + some comedy (I think?).
ReplyDeleteCount me in for that broadcast version of "Banshee", Sneaky Pete.
ReplyDeleteSneaky Pete has potential, especially with Cranston and Shore involved. But it needs just the right casting.
