The first pilot cuts have started to come in as the last pilots are finishing production (except for ABC drama Still Star-Crossed, which starts filming next week, and Fox comedy Chad, which will shoot in late May). Next week, we should start to get a clearer picture of where the different pilots stand but until then, here is one more early buzz rundown of the titles people are talking about.
ABC’s straight-to-series drama Designated Survivor starring Kiefer Sutherland shot a pilot that has been well received. Marvel’s Most Wanted is still considered a sure bet for a series order. The heavily serialized murder trial drama The Jury has buzz, with legal procedural Conviction also mentioned. The Death of Eva Sofia Valdez starring Gina Torres has been heating up, with Reese Witherspoon-produced Broken also being talked about.
Not a lot of moves in Fox’s drama field. 24: Legacy— an offshoot from the long-running real-time drama — continues to look very strong. Also hot (and scary as hell) is The Exorcist reboot, as well as Lee Daniels‘ music-themed drama. Dan Fogelman’s baseball drama Pitch has been well received and in contention despite considered a little off-brand for Fox, with Lethal Weapon also very much in the mix. Fox already has two dramas with series orders for next season, Shots Fired and the Prison Breakevent series, making for a pretty tight drama field.
