I’ve learned that ABC is finalizing deals for a 13-episode, straight-to-series order to The Black Box, a drama project written by The Relic and Mystic Pizza scribe Amy Holden Jones. She is executive producing with The L Word creator Ilene Chaiken, who serves as showrunner, X-Men director Bryan Singer, 3 Arts’ Oly Obst (The Invention of Lying), and Anne Thomopoulos (Borgia). The Black Box centers on Elizabeth Black, world renowned neuroscientist who appears to have it all but is constantly haunted by her own struggle with mental illness. And that is not the only secret she’s kept locked away from her family and her new fiancĂ©.

I got this from the only two sentences that describe the plot. Imagine what we could do with a full synopsis...
Very first line
ReplyDeleteI think that was meant as a 13 episode order for now, like most new shows have been given a 13 episode order. Plus, I checked other sites and none of them have specificallymentioned that it's going to be a 13-episode series.
ReplyDeleteWell that's why I put 13 in the title. That's what has been ordered. If they add more later we'll post then :)
ReplyDeleteyou could say that about a lot of Broadcast shows,
ReplyDeleteMentalist= is a less funny Psych
Blacklist=less charming White Collar
