Deadline - More Very Early 2017 Pilot Buzz

There may be a new hot surgeon on ABC next season, and it won’t be a new love interest for Grey’s Anatomy‘s Meredith. The network’s medical pilot The Good Doctor, from House creator David Shore, has been heating up, with Bates Motel‘s Freddie Highmore being buzzed about for his starring role as a young surgeon with Savant Syndrome. The latest Shondaland entry, the Paul William Davies legal drama, also is going strong. The illusionist FBI drama, Deception, from Chris Fedak and Berlanti Prods., continues to get attention. It is one of several pilots in serious contention as part of ABC’s push this season to launch lighter hourlong series, along with the Marc Cherry small-town project starring Reba McEntire and possibly the Kenya Barris-produced CIA show Unit Zero starring Toni Collette. Las Reinas has rebounded. Downgraded from a pilot to a presentation, I hear it encountered issues during production but the cut has exceeded expectations. It is unclear whether that will be enough to push the project over the threshold, but it is a positive development. ABC already has one new drama series picked up for next fall, Marvel’s Inhumans.
