Pilots Not Picked Up But Are Still Alive

Upfront 2012: What Pilots Are Still Alive
By NELLIE ANDREEVA Thursday May 17 2012 @ 6:58am PDT

The broadcast networks left an uncharacteristically small number of pilots in midseason contention this year. The strongest among them is the Fox drama Guilty starring Cuba Gooding Jr. who tested very high. The network picked up only two new drama series for next season, making a third order a possibility despite limited shelf space.
Magical procedural Gotham still has a pulse at ABC and also is exploring a potential cable play. There are several pilots which are dead but their concepts are not. ABC comedy Only Fools and Horses, based on a British series which is a favorite of ABC boss Paul Lee, will likely be redeveloped. Ditto for American Judy as ABC brass love star Judy Greer and are the fish-out-of-water premise of her pilot this year and are looking to develop a new vehicle for her in that vein.
Similarly, the CW is expected to take another stab at developing a TV series based on The Selection series of books by Kiera Cass. The network brass are very keen on having a show on the air that is thematically close to the blockbuster Hunger Games movie franchise the way the network�s hit Vampire Diaries is to Twilight.
Beyond that, there are several pilots that are being shopped elsewhere, including comedies El Jefe, Super Fun Night and Oh Fk, It�s You.

The CW Strategically Sets Fall Launch for Early October

NEW YORK - May 17, 2012 - The CW Network presented its 2012-13 broadcast schedule today to advertisers, affiliates and national media at the New York City Center in New York City. Hip-hop star Flo Rida opened the show with a medley of his top hits, featuring the world premiere of his newest song, "Let it Roll (Good Times)."

"One of our biggest priorities this year at The CW was adding more original programming, and we've added 50 original hours to our schedule in 2012," said Mark Pedowitz, President, The CW. "With dynamic new dramas for the fall and midseason, and our first-ever summer schedule leading into our October fall launch, this is poised to be a transformative season for The CW.

"The dramas we have for next season are outstanding, with relatable characters and breakout stars. 'Arrow,' starring Stephen Amell in the title role, is a bold, edge-of-your-seat action show, based on the popular DC Comics character; 'Emily Owens, M.D.' is funny, emotional, and we have caught lightning in a bottle with an incredible lead actor in Mamie Gummer; 'Beauty and the Beast' takes a classic love story and adds a procedural element; 'The Carrie Diaries,' with the story of a young Carrie Bradshaw set in the 1980s, is perfect for our audience; and 'Cult' is a chilling psychological thriller. We have an unbelievable variety of high quality dramas, all speaking to the 18-to-34-year old audience, set for next season."

The CW will plan to strategically rollout its new fall season starting in early October 2012. Specific dates to be announced at a later time.

On Monday nights, the most famous zip code in America, 90210, returns at 8:00-9:00 p.m., and GOSSIP GIRL will wrap up its six-season run of OMFG drama at 9:00-10:00 p.m. In January, new series THE CARRIE DIARIES, starring AnnaSophia Robb as the incomparable and iconic Carrie Bradshaw growing up in the 1980s, will follow in GOSSIP GIRL's stylish heels at 9:00-10:00 p.m.

Tuesdays The CW will play doctor, with HART OF DIXIE, starring Rachel Bilson, bringing its dose of Southern hospitality to 8:00-9:00 p.m., followed by new medical drama EMILY OWENS, M.D. from 9:00-10:00 p.m., starring Mamie Gummer as a surgical intern who discovers, much to her dismay, that working in a hospital feels an awful lot like high school.

The CW gives Wednesday a double dose of high-octane action, with new series ARROW, starring Stephen Amell as the popular DC Comics character, at 8:00-9:00 p.m., followed by this year's People's Choice Award-winner for Best Network Drama, SUPERNATURAL, 9:00-10:00 p.m.

Thursday nights The CW's bloody-good drama THE VAMPIRE DIARIES is back for more heart-stopping thrills and romance, followed by new series BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, starring Kristin Kreuk as a homicide detective and Jay Ryan as a doctor with a dark side... a really dark side.

Fridays are filled with fierce females, with AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL moving to a new night and time, 8:00-9:00 p.m., followed by Maggie Q's return to action as NIKITA, 9:00-10:00 p.m.

New drama CULT, starring Matt Davis as a journalist looking for his brother, who went missing after becoming obsessed with a hit TV show about a menacing cult leader, will premiere at midseason, with a date and time to be announced later.

Aussie Tangle

jack206 — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:00:00 GMT

Is anyone else hooked on the Australian TV series called Tangle? It is now in its third season on Superchannel. An excellent show, imo. Certainly recommended viewing.
