EXCLUSIVE: Drama pilot Scent Of The Missing is not going forward at TNT. In May, the cable network picked up one of its four pilots, David E. Kelley’s Monday Mornings, to series and passed on another, Western Tin Star. At the time, TNT kept search-and-rescue drama Scent Of The Missing in contention, saying that it planned to shoot a few more procedural pilots and would make a decision after seeing all of them. While Scent Of The Missing is out of consideration, the network is proceeding with its plan — I hear it will film 2-3 pilots in the fall, one or two of them procedurals. The fourth pilot of the latest batch, Frank Darabount’s L.A. Noir, was a late order for TNT’s Sunday genre lineup. A decision on it is still pending though there has been strong pickup buzz on the period drama.

Executive produced by co-writers Carol Mendelsohn, Melissa R. Byer & Treena Hancock and Barry Josephson, Scent Of The Missing centers on Susannah (Tricia Helfer), a tenacious, strong-willed K-9 Search and Rescue volunteer who works with an equally determined partner — her mischievous golden retriever. Eric Winter and Summer Glau co-star.

Sad to hear this news. Had hoped to pitch TNT a companion show about a cat who is a bouncer at a nightclub/private investigator — “Hector: Claws of Justice”. Oh well, maybe next cycle…
Scent of a stinker.
There must be some perfect parallel universe where Summer Glau catches a break.
That’s a shame!
The fans were really excited to see Tricia Helfer and Summer Glau sharing human/canine adventures and great stories.
Maybe TNT can now pick up Harry’s Law!!!!
TNT passed because the dog didn’t talk.
How about Harry’s Law?
No shock there. Sounded stupid from the get-go.
As much as I like Tricia Helfer and Summer Glau (and their Cylon vs. Terminator cage match would be truly epic), anything that increases the chances of L.A. Noir being picked up is a good thing. I honestly couldn’t see how this concept could’ve worked on TNT anyway, judging by the tone of their originals; it would’ve been better on AMC.
Sad to hear. Carol, Barry, Treena and Melissa are all quality producers as well as good people. I thought the idea sounded promising.
Good people, bad concept.
The only TNT pilot I care about is LA Noir.
helfer, and glau are amazing..its a shame the show didnt get picked up..
hopefully it finds a home…

At least Summer Glau won’t have to add another canceled show to her resume.
Late late late to the party, but hey, “Scent of the Missing” was a fascinating book. Would it make a good series? Eh, maybe not. But damn, a TV movie or even a mini-series, with Helfer and Glau breaking out of their previous typecasting? I’d love it. I’d totally be watching.
