Jack Orman is behind the hour, which was announced back in September. Sony Pictures Television is the studio attached.


TRUE BLUE (ABC, New!) - "Big Shots" creator Jon Harmon Feldman has landed a pilot order from the Alphabet for a new drama about "a group of San Francisco homicide detectives reunite to solve the murder of one of their own, in the process reviving old passions, rivalries and friendships." Feldman penned the hour for ABC Studios and is executive producing alongside Chris Brancato and Bert Salke.
