Charmed (CBS)- Yes. CBS is working on rebooting Charmed. Of course, Aaron Spelling is dead, so it has a new team of producers. And, it isn’t being produced on the logical CW (though CBS may pass, and The CW may end up taking it). How do you feel about a reboot of a series that just finished in 2006?
Cleopatra (NBC)- NBC is making a period drama about Cleopatra and Marc Antony and Julius Caesar. It’ll be a little supernatural, with gods and monsters involved.
Clipsters (TBS)- TBS is continuing on trying to get more original sitcoms off the ground. This one is from the team behind Will and Grace, and is a workplace comedy about a barbershop. Considering how poorly Ground Floor did, I wonder if TBS will be ordering more sitcoms, or less?
Colony (The CW)- A sci-fi drama about a group of people sent to start colonizing Mars. Could this serve as a companion series to a certain midseason replacement?
The Comedians (FX)- Billy Crystal and Josh Gad topline a sitcom from Larry Charles. The fact that this show only has a pilot order, and not an immediate series pick up is baffling. I would have picked up at least a few episodes just because of the talent involved. The plot revolves around an established comedian having to team up with a very green new comedian for his late night talk show.
Complications (USA)- After finishing Burn Notice, Matt Nix pitched his next series as a gritty medical drama. USA doesn’t have a medical drama right now (sorry, I don’t count Royal Pains), and might be looking to move into this genre.
Constantine (NBC)- Based on the comic book series, which also was adapted into a movie with Keanu Reeves. The show has a penalty on it if not ordered to series. David Goyer is serving as EP. Constantine would pair well with Grimm. I doubt NBC sticks with Dracula, and they’ll be looking for a new series for next fall.
Copland (STARZ)- A TV show adaptation of the movie. James Mangold (the films director) is on board as EP. It only has a script order right now.
Creature At Bay (SYFY)- Bryan Singer is producing a show, which centers around the aftermath of the government taking out a giant Kaiji type creature. Bryan Singer is a solid producer, but Syfy hasn’t been making much of a push for new dramas. They choose them sparingly, so it will take more than just Singer’s name to convince them to order the series.
Criminal Justice (HBO)- This was the show that James Gandolfini was attached to. Robert DeNiro has since stepped in to fill his shoes, and the show has a 7 episode commitment.
Cross (The CW)- Is The CW looking for a companion series to Reign? They’ve ordered a script, so they might be thinking about it. The show is set in the 19th century about a girl who assumes her twin brothers identity after he dies, so she can become a doctor.
Crushed (HBO)- HBO is looking into having a sitcom with an all African-American cast about a family that “stumbles upon” a successful winery.
Crushed (TNT)- And then TNT decided to have the same show… but make it more of a companion series to Dallas. And probably with less black people.
Cuckoo (CBS)- Based on Andy Samberg’s BBC show. A daughter comes back from her summer abroad with a moron of a boyfriend. Basically, it’s a TV show adaptation of Son In Law. That reminds me… what is Pauly Shore up to these days?
Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me (TBS)- Jamie Foxx is developing a sitcom based on his relationship with his own daughter. I’m sure this pilot would be more high profile if Jamie Foxx was actually in it.
Damascus (CBS)- America Ferrera has a pilot in production at CBS, which she is also producing. I’m pretty sure you’ll hear about it, though I don’t think it’ll get a series order. It’s not on brand for CBS. A show about a nun who travels the world and does good while fighting big bad corporations? Unless, MAYBE, they think it’ll pair with The Good Wife.
Deliverance Creek (Lifetime)- Lauren Ambrose is toplining a civil war drama from executive producer Nicholas Sparks. The thing you really need to know is Nicholas Sparks is producing a show for Lifetime. If that isn’t a match made in heaven, I don’t know what is.
Dinks (ABC)- Casey Wilson, Jonathan Groff, and June Diane Raphael are producing a comedy for Raphael. Groff produced Happy Endings, and Wilson starred in it. Will ABC want to get back in bed with the same team for a second go around?
Divide and Conquer (USA)- One of USA’s comedy pilots, this one stars Diane Farr and Greg Grunberg as parents trying to raise four kids. USA landed off-network rights to Modern Family, and this seems like they are trying to pair it with something.
Doll and Em (HBO)- It already has a six-episode commitment, and stars Emily Mortimer. The concept is about a girl who serves as the personal assistant to her best friend, who is now a celebrity.
Domain (FOX)- It’s a little like The Blacklist. A hacker is coerced into helping the government track down the source of recent national security leaks. Produced by Shawn Levy.
Dominion (SYFY)- Anthony Stewart Head, Alan Dale, and Chris Egan topline a sci-fi drama. I think this one will make it.
Dorothy (CBS)- A medical drama with characters inspired by The Wizard of Oz. Sounds like a cool concept, but ask yourself… would I see this on CBS?
Dorothy Must Die (The CW)- Another Dorothy series, but this one might actually get a series order. This one is much closer to the original concept, and is a revisionist take where Dorothy stayed in Oz and became a fascist dictator. If The CW decides to stick with Beauty and the Beast, this could be a good companion series.
Down Dog (Bravo)- Bravo is developing dramas. This one is about a hedge fund trader in New York who trades in her old life for a new one as a self-help guru.
Dr Ken (NBC)- Ken Jeong is producing a show about his life as a doctor, before he became an actor The sad thing is it doesn’t have Ken attached to star. If Ken was starring, I’d say this is a sure-fire bet. After all, he was able to get this ordered with penalty, and he’s not even in the cast.
