CBS Orders Three Pilots, Including REPUBLIC OF SARAH From James Corden

Deadline reports that CBS ordered three more pilots from dramas: Republic of Sarah from Jeffrey Paul King (Elementary) and James Corden; legal drama Courthouse from writer Greg Spottiswood (Remedy) and Warner Bros. TV; and Frankenstein from writer Jason Tracey and Elementary creator Rob Doherty.

Republic of Sarah centers on a small New Hampshire town that is thrust onto the world stage when the discovery of a valuable resource within its borders compels the residents to declare themselves an independent nation, thus setting the unlikely young mayor and her cabinet of inexperienced locals on the path of running a brand-new country.

Legal drama Courthouse is written and executive produced by Spottiswood. It is a show that pulls back the curtain on the court system and follows the dedicated, chaotic, hopeful, and sometimes absurd lives of the judges, assistant district attorneys, and public defenders as they work with bailiffs, clerks, cops and jurors to bring justice to the people of Los Angeles.

Frankenstein centers on a San Francisco homicide detective who's mysteriously brought back to LIFE AFTER being killed in the line of duty, but as he resumes his old life and he and his wife realize he isn't the same person he used to be, they zero in on the strange man behind his resurrection - Dr. Victor Frankenstein.

Republic of Sarah, Courthouse and Frankenstein join four other CBS drama pilots: Under the Bridge, Nancy, Surveillance and Evil.
