UPDATED:
NBC has picked up two more drama pilots to series: David Schulner’s Jekyll & Hyde-esque medical drama Do No Harm and sudser Notorious, which will now be called Infamous. It is an interesting pairing as Do No Harm was picked up with the very first batch of NBC pilots and has been a strong frontrunner from the get-go. Meanwhile, Notorious was the last drama pilot ordered on any network but was a late bloomer, building momentum from the moment it was delivered.

’1600 Penn’, ‘Animal Practice’, ‘New Normal’, ‘Revolution’ & ‘Save Me’ Picked Up To Series At NBC
Do No Harm, from Universal TV and Peter Traugott’s studio-based company, stars Steven Pasquale as a brilliant neurosurgeon wrestling with his dangerous alter-ego that threatens to wreak havoc on his personal and professional life.
Infamous, from Universal TV and BermanBraun, is an opulent soap in which a female detective (Meagan Good) returns undercover to the wealthy family she grew up in — as the maid’s daughter — to solve the murder of the notorious heiress who was once her closest friend. Liz Heldens wrote the pilot, which was directed by Peter Horton. Do No Harm and Infamous join previously ordered new dramas Chicago Fire and Revolution.

No updates on Midnight Sun?
Having Megan Good on my screen every week…
Nice!
What about “Shut Up Flower Boy Band” (tvN ??? ?????)? Why haven’t you mentioned anything about that? The people of South Korea demand to know!
With American networks adapting Latin and Israeli series, they really should look into adapting some Korean dramas. There are some excellent ideas out there.
AWESOME! Love this complex plot and premise of this show! Also love the title too!
With a title like that-I suppose Nbc thought it wouldn’t hurt to pick it up
Good now all i need is “Notorious” & “County”…and I will be very happy.
From the same network who brought the ratings hits AWAKE and THE FIRM comes NBC’s next Thursday night flop… It rolls right off the tongue.
At least “Awake” is a good show. Its ratings are miserable–although, to be fair, it premiered right around the time everything starting dropping–but the quality is there.
You do raise a good question, though, which is what show(s) NBC will put on Thursdays. There’s as much opportunity is there is danger, particularly for the 10:00 hour, given the moves CBS is supposedly considering. For a few reasons, I could see the network deciding to put two dramas on the night. It probably won’t happen, but I can see the logic in such a decision.
If not, my guess is that “Infamous” or “Revolution” goes there.
Looking forward to Do No Harm. Crossing fingers to see good news about “Mockingbird Lane,” “Midnight Sun” and “Beautiful People” (though not holding my breath).
County would rock! C’mon.
YAY Steve Pasquale!! Loved him on Rescue me, can’t wait to see him in this. He’s so crazy talented and sexy.
Well speak of the devil…
Does this mean FRONTIER is not being picked up from pilot? Has NBC filled the drama slots? I’d like to know.
At the very top of my wish list for new NBC shows is “Midnight Sun.” It sounds totally fascinating and a little spooky, but have heard nothing about it in any industry news for weeks now. Is it dead?
And what about “Frontier” ? I really really would love to see a new western on prime time tv, especially one that is purported to be as beautifully shot as this one. Any chance it could still be alive?
YAY Steve Pasquale! Loved him in Rescue me. He’s so talented and sexy.
Congrats to Peter and Rachel! Schulner couldn’t ask for better partners. Rachel is a delight to work with. Mazel Tov.
How many drama spots are left?
Glad to hear about Do No Harm. Still hopeful for The Frontier. Beautiful People probably is dead at this point. Midnight Sun – questionable.
PS, there won’t be any news about Mockingbird Lane – it’s not being prepared for fall season. Maybe saved for midseason or beyond.
Reboot B.J. and the Bear, NBC! It’s time.
Mockingbird Lane, I believe, got a straight to series order. So, I see it coming out in the later half of midseason. Probably as a midseason replacement for Parenthood or a canceled show.
I’m really hoping Midnight Sun is picked up. It’s one of three drama pilots I’m really hoping will make it. The other is CW’s “Cult” (which would make it the first show I’d watch on CW since Everybody Hates Chris) and The Following (which got the pick up!). I’d like to see Frontier now that Gateway is dead and well, Hell on Wheels is a boring mess. Beautiful People would’ve been a decent show, probably hurt its chances when it got shot so early and people at NBC started forgetting about it.
Still though, it’ll be shocking if NBC passes up on a show starring Julia Stiles.
Mockingbird Lane did not get a straight-to-series order; Hannibal did.
Whatever happened to that show about the Civil War on NBC from last season? Sounds like an interesting concept.
“Reconstruction” never made it to series. The pilot was panned and deemed to similar to AMC’s upcoming show, “Hell on Wheels”
Possibly they see how badly AMC botched the Killing going deep into a convoluted Conspiracy. Also how the audience reacted to Prime Suspect Remake. Assume there’s a slight over saturation for shows about female Detectives.
I think there clearly is a big void for broadcast for Complex Crime Drama. I wish one of these networks would again attempt to try to bring Elmore Leonard character to the small screen. I really Leonard tone would give some life back to Crime Drama genre on broadcast.
Delighted for the incredibly talented Liz Heldens.
Why yes, NBC **is** stupid enough to pass on Downwardly Mobile.
Whaaaaaat? C’mon, it’s a terrible title and a “star” that no longer has any draw.
Not bad. Still hoping for Beautiful People and Midnight Sun. WE NEED ORIGINALS NBC!!!!!
Gotta be honest – I’m not holding my breath for NBC to have a breakout hit anytime soon. I miss the days when the network was “Must Watch TV” but that seems so long ago now.
What’s funny is, if just one show–either a comedy or a drama–is a hit for the network next season, the talk will be how NBC is back.
If Cult gets picked up and Scandal gets renewed, there will be THREE drama series on air with black female leads. That’s really saying something. I’m looking forward to Infamous. Even if it’s crap, Meagan Good and Laz Alonzo are two seriously good looking people I wouldn’t mind seeing on tv every week
Congratulations and KUDOS to Liz Heldens! Way to go NBC. This oughta make the viewers pay attention!
