Coming and going

Pilots keep on comin’!

Good Girls is a CBS pilot comedy around two women trying to reinvent themselves with other childhood friends. The pilot was penned by The New Adventures of Old Christine‘s Sherry Bilsing-Graham and Ellen Kreamer.
At ABC, we have an untitled comedy, written by Dream On‘s Jeff Strauss, focusing on marriage and parenthood through three couples’ POV.
NBC has an untitled comedy (yes, again) by Less Than Perfect‘s Justin Adler, this time around the ’89 movie Parenthood with adult siblings.

A bit of casting news regarding previously picked up pilots:
ABC’s Happy Town will have Lauren German as its suspicious new inhabitant.
The still-untitled CBS procedural around Manhattan prosecutors will star Jericho‘s Lennie James as a former Assistant to the District Attorney.

Meanwhile, 24‘s Jon Cassar will shoot CBS’ Washington Field and Michael Fresco will direct the unnamed ABC-Hemingson dramedy pilot.
NBC’s Mercy will be shot by 30 Rock‘s Adam Bernstein

And there’s gonna be a sixth season for FX’s Rescue Me (the fifth one premieres April 7 remember).

I also have some amazing news for you guys: E! has ordered a sublime reality project named Hot Girls in Scary Places.
The title says it all.
Yes, really.
