NBC picked up a slew of pilots late Friday, including one from The Flash’s Greg Berlanti and another from The Bible’s Mark Burnett and Roma Downey.
The Berlanti project is titled Blindspot and will be produced by Warner Bros. TV and his Berlanti Productions. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it is about a woman who suddenly wakes up in the nude in Times Square. It was written by Bored To Death’s Martin Gero.
Unveiled is a spiritual drama that is similar to CBS’ Touched by an Angel, which made Downey a major star. Deadline reports that it is about guardian angels who aren’t perfect, but try to help those in crisis to save their lives. It was written by The Glades’ John Sakmar and Kerry Lenhart.
Another pilot NBC picked up is called Heart Matters, executive produced by Judging Amy’s Amy Brenneman. It’s based on Dr. Kathy Magliato’s book about a female heart-transplant surgeon. It was written by My So-Called Life’s Jill Gordon.
Lastly, another pilot NBC picked up is Endgame, about a former sniper who is accused of killing his wife. According to THR, the project comes from Davis Entertainment, the same company behind The Blacklist, and Leverage co-creator John Roger.
