Fox, home of So You Think You Can Dance, is developing dance-themed drama series The Cut, from McG’s Wonderland Sound & Vision. The project, which has received a script commitment plus penalty, hails from 20th TV, where Wonderland is under an overall deal.
Written by Joe Sofranko & Lili Fuller, The Cut is described as Friday Night Lights meets Center Stage. It is an aspirational ensemble drama set in the Manhattan School of Dance, the most renowned dance conservatory in New York City. At the center is Anthony, a subway performer desperate to break free from his crime-ridden roots, who seizes the opportunity to join some of the most elite dance students in the world. With the support of an equally talented faculty, these dancers will search for identity, fall in love, and compete to become the best of the best… all while avoiding THE CUT.

Also, The Henchman, FOX is developing a comedy series with Damon Wayans Jr. to Star
Thanks to 90sbaby for the heads up.
Damon Wayans Jr. is reteaming with New Girl's Jake Johnson and Fox.
After co-starring on New Girl and feature Let's Be Cops, the two are now developing The Henchman, a new comedy poised to star Wayans, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The single-camera comedy — written by Wayans and Johnson — would star Wayans as Norris, a man fighting to find the balance between his family and pursuing his dream of being a successful henchman. Wayans does not currently have a deal to star in the comedy, which landed at Fox with a script plus penalty commitment.
Vali Chandrasekaran (Modern Family, Trophy Wife, 30 Rock) is set to supervise and serve as showrunner on the 20th Century Fox TV comedy via his overall deal with the studio. Wayans, Johnson, Chandrasekaran and The Walcott Co.'s Max Winkler (New Girl) and Jason Carden will also exec produce.
Should The Henchman move forward and Fox renew Lethal Weapon for a second season, Wayans Jr. would join his father, Lethal Weapon star Damon Wayans Sr., at the network.
