NBC Orders Drama Pilots from Dean Georgaris and Daniel Barnz

NBC has given out pilot orders to two drama projects, "Bluff City Law" and "Prism," according to Variety. Both orders are for the 2019-2020 season.

"Bluff City Law" hails from "The Brave" creator Dean Georgaris. The series is described as a character-driven legal drama that follows the lawyers of an elite Memphis law firm that specializes in the most controversial landmark civil rights cases. Led by legendary lawyer Elijah Strait and his brilliant daughter, Sydney Keller, they take on the toughest David-and-Goliath cases while navigating their complicated relationship.

Georgaris will write and executive produce the project, with David Janollari and Michael Aguliar also executive producing. Universal Television will produce along with David Janollari Entertainment.

"Prism" is an exploration of a murder trial in which every episode is told through the perspective of a different key person involved. Each new version of the facts ratchets up the mystery and the suspense, calling into question everything we have seen so far and asking is the right person on trial? Driven by an ensemble of complicated characters, the show lets the audience ask if truth matters less than who can tell the most compelling story.

The pilot of "Prism" will be written, executive produced, and directed by Daniel Barnz. Ben Barnz, Julie Weitz, and Carol Mendelsohn will also executive produce. Universal Television will also produce this pilot, along with Carol Mendelsohn Productions and the Barnz's We're Not Brothers banner.

The pilot orders for "Bluff City Law" and "Prism" are the first two NBC has given out for the upcoming season.
