ABC’s Nathan Fillion starrer The Rookie, which has a straight-to-series order, DJ Nash ensemble A Million Little Things, and the Eva Longoria-produced Grand Hotel, toplined by Demian Bichir and Roselyn Sanchez, continue to garner strong buzz, joined by suburban drama False Profits starring Bellamy Young and Vanessa Williams. Beyond that things are murky. With rookie cop drama-comedy The Rookie looking assured of a slot of the schedule, the competition among the slew of other law & order pilots ordered by the network this year increases. That includes The Fix, The Mission, Staties and The Finest.
The CW’s two reboots, Charmed and Roswell, continue to march through the pilot process, along with football drama Spencer (aka untitled April Blair), executive produced by Greg Berlanti, and In the Dark, about a blind woman and her dog. Mortician drama Playing Dead is also considered a possibility as is the Supernatural spinoff Wayward Sisters, whose backdoor pilot did well. What also has been doing well is the final season of The Originals, which bodes well for the potential new The Vampire Diaries/The Originals universe show from Julie Plec centered around the character of Hope Mikaelson. it is in contention for next season.
