Thanks to Jovan for the heads up.
Fox has opted not to go forward with The Beast, its medical drama pilot from former ER executive producer Neal Baer.
The Beast was the last of six Fox drama pilots to get a pickup in mid-February, putting extra pressure on the project, a single-lead medical procedural. It was subsequently rolled for casting reasons, an inevitable occurrence when close to 100 pilots/TV series on broadcast as well as cable and streaming are casting at the same time.
Fox has ultimately passed on The Beast, which was one of two medical drama pilots ordered by Fox this season, along with The Resident, which was produced and went to series, giving Fox a medical drama on the schedule for next season.
