CHICAGO (thefutoncritic.com) -- FOX is calling in "The Jury" for midseason as the network has committed to five episodes of the drama in addition to its pilot. The 20th Century Fox Television project, which comes from executive producers Barry Levinson, Tom Fontana, James Yoshimura and Jim Finnerty, examines the legal process through the eyes of the members of a jury.

Shalom Harlow ("How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"), Billy Burke ("Wonderland"), Adam Busch ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), Jeff Hephner and Cote de Pablo all star in the ensemble drama which is expected to premiere this spring. "The Jury" joins FOX's already busy midseason slate, which also includes the dramas "Still Life" and "Wonderfalls"; comedies "The Ortegas," "Cracking Up," "Oliver Beene" and "Cedric the Entertainer Presents"; and a half-dozen or so reality series including the reality soap "Forever Eden."
