DC Comics' SECRET SIX Series in Development at CBS

CBS is developing a series based on DC Comics' "Secret Six," according to Variety.

The drama follows six morally ambiguous strangers, each with their own unique specialties and secret pasts. They are brought together by an enigmatic figure who blackmails them into working as a team to expose the corruption of the corporate and political elite.

The series has received a pilot production commitment at the network. Rick Muirragui will write and executive produce, with Bill Lawrence and Jeff Ingold executive producing via Doozer Productions. Warner Bros. Television will produce.

Many DC characters have been members of the Secret Six, including Bane, Harley Quinn, Lex Luthor, the Mad Hatter, and the Penguin.

Muirragui most recently worked as a co-executive producer and writer on USA Network's "Suits." His previous credits also include "Men of a Certain Age," "The Good Guys," "Charmed," and "Past Life."

Lawrence created the hit comedy series "Scrubs." He also recently worked with CBS to develop "Rush Hour" as a series starring Justin Hires and Jon Foo.
