Deadline reports that CBS has ordered pilots from medical drama Under the Bridge, from executive producer Rina Mimoun (Mistressses) and Jerry Bruckheimer TV, and police drama Nancy, from co-creator Paul Attanasio and producer Amblin TV. Attanasio also created Homicide: Life on the Street.
When a SCANDAL rocks the medical practice she runs with her husband and their friends, a surgeon rises to the occasion and takes the lead in trying to mend both the practice and her own marriage. That's Under the Bridge, with a script by Mimoun.
In Attanasio's Nancy, when a former high-ranking NYPD officer becomes the first female Chief of Police for Los Angeles, she uses her unflinching honesty and hardball tactics to navigate the social, political and national-security issues that converge with enforcing the law.
As of last year, there were seven female police chiefs in Los Angeles County, an all-time high - that served as impetus for the project.
