NBC has given a pilot order to an untitled medical drama (fka Salvation), from Law & Order veteran Warren Leight, Paul Haggis (Crash) and Sony TV.
The project, written/executive produced by Leight, was the first big drama buy for the broadcast network this season, receiving a pilot production commitment by NBC with Haggis potentially directing. He will executive produce the pilot, which will be directed/exec produced by veteran Charles McDougall.
The untitled drama is described as a real time “extreme event” medical series that follows the nurses and doctors of an understaffed Brooklyn hospital that becomes the borough’s last viable trauma center after a catastrophic hurricane wreaks havoc on the city. On a holiday weekend with few doctors on call, the medical staff will be pushed to make the most difficult life-and-death choices as they work to save their patients and themselves.
