With the void left by the cancellation, or as NBC would like to spin it, Jay Leno’s triumphant return to late night, the network has wasted no time in filling the newly-created time slot. NBC has pilots coming up, including seven dramas, two comedies, as well as two remakes.
Fanboy favorite J.J. Abrams will direct the pilot episode of Undercovers, which has been generating online buzz since NBC attached itself to the project. Abrams, Bryan Burk and Josh Reims will exec produce the series about a husband-wife CIA team. Warner Bros. Television and Bad Robot Prods. will produce.
Another entry is the long-running (it tied series leader Bonanza) Law & Order franchise, with Law & Order: Los Angeles. The new series will be produced by franchise creator Dick Wolf.
