Thanks to Spindae2 for the heads up.
We are officially in the series pickup stage of pilots season as NBC today kicked things off with orders to Chicago Med, Blindspot and Heartbreaker. Other frontrunners may soon follow suit, like Minority Report at Fox, the Jenna Bans drama at ABC and Cordon at the CW. Here is one final roundup of pilot buzz ahead of the onslaught of series orders (and passes) next week.
Even with the three series orders, I hear the NBC drama field is still wide open, with multiple other pilots in contention. That includes The Player, which, along with Blindspot and Heartbreaker, received a permission from the network to begin staffing earlier this week. Also said to be in the running are Warrior and Game of Silence, with Silvio Horta’s The Curse of the Fuentes Women as well as Love Is a Four Letter Word also having a shot. With today’s 3 orders NBC already has six drama series on tap for next season, including the straight-to series Shades of Blue and Emerald City as well as the event series Heroes Reborn, slated for fall.
The most attention at the CW is going to Julie Plec’s Cordon and the Tales From the Darkside. And of course the Arrow-Flash spinoff series, which has a 3-minute presentation ready for the upfronts.
