Jessica Shulman also serves as an executive producer for 20th Century Fox Television and Baer Bones. Its logline is as follows: "Each week: three challenging medical cases.

LOSING IT (ABC) - Julie Anne Robinson has signed on to helm the single-camera comedy pilot, about three misfit adult siblings and their parents who - between divorce, new parenthood, early-onset dementia and let's just say life - are all losing it in different ways; and family is the only way they're going to find it. (Deadline.com)

Rix then is set as James, "the principal test subject of a secret Ministry of Defense Artificial Intelligence program"; with Kirby as Aaron, "a lonely and out of place young man who created an A.I. as his best friend - benevolent, brilliant, supportive, and in many ways, his equal." Andrew Miller has also been confirmed as an executive producer. (Deadline.com)

SCALPED (WGN America) - Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi are set to direct the long-in-the-works drama pilot, based on the Vertigo Comics title about the Oglala Lakota inhabitants in the fictional Prairie Rose Indian Reservation in South Dakota as they grapple with organized crime, poverty, drug and alcohol addiction and local politics while trying to preserve their cultural identity. (Deadline.com)
SCROLL, THE (FOX, New!) - Michael Elliot (Brown Sugar) has sold a potential drama to the network which "will reimagine some of the Bible's most popular stories in present day through a group of friends and colleagues that are modern-day versions of some of the Bible's most notable characters." 20th Century Fox Television is behind the hour with Relevé Entertainment's Holly Carter and Flavor Unit Television's Queen Latifah and Shakim Compere likewise executive producing.

James Ponsoldt is also now slated to direct. (Deadline.com)
