Secret Lives - Gets Pilot order from NBC

Thanks to laura3341 for the heads up.

NBC has greenlit its first pilot for the next season, giving the go-ahead to a soapy thriller from Jerry Bruckheimer.

Based on Josie Brown's book The Secret Lives of Husbands and Wives, Bruckheimer will executive produce the project under his deal with Warner Bros. Television. Sascha Penn will adapt the material and exec produce alongside Bruckheimer Television's Jonathan Littman; KristieAnne Reed will co-exec produce. The project was originally in development at ABC.

Secret Lives is described as equal parts thriller and dramatic soap that is centered on a murder and the secrets exposed in its aftermath. The project comes after Bruckheimer's drama pilot Trooper, starring Mira Sorvino, was passed over this pilot season at CBS.
