LADY IN THE MASK (The CW, New!) - Thomas Brandon has booked a psychological thriller at the netlet "set in a near future where people can back-up their minds like they back-up their computer. It centers on a woman who awakens in the hospital after a suspicious car accident and learns her memory was damaged and restored from a two-year-old "back-up." As she tries to return to her seemingly loving husband, high-profile job in her family's tech VC firm, and otherwise normal life, the details about her missing years begin to contradict one another, leading her to believe she's being manipulated by someone close to her, that the accident was no accident and that she's at the center of a much larger conspiracy - unless she's just losing her mind." Amblin Television's Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey will executive produce the hour for CBS Television Studios with Brandon serving as a co-executive producer. (Deadline.com)
NATURAL HISTORY (NBC, New!) - Chris Hardwick and David X. Cohen are set to team for a new comedy about "a young woman who returns home to become director of a beloved local natural history museum, only to find it has gone to hell in her absence. She must wrangle her well-intentioned but less-than-reliable staff while battling slashed budgets, rude patrons and collapsing dinosaur skeletons." Fish Ladder Productions' Mike Clements and Brillstein Entertainment Partners' Alex Murray will also executive produce for Universal Television. (Deadline.com)
SEARCHING FOR ME (FOX, New!) - Aimee Lagos (No Good Deed) has sold a new soap to the network about "a family whose lives are thrown into a tailspin after a deadly accident threatens to expose the family's deepest and darkest secrets. Set against the backdrop of an unraveling murder mystery, this close-knit family, bound by identity, becomes tested by the deeply rooted lies that, if exposed, could be their ultimate undoing." Chernin Entertainment and 20th Century Fox Television are behind the hour. No other auspices were given. (Deadline.com)
SUPERGIRL (The CW) - Krys Marshall has scored a recurring role on the series as Julia Freeman, "a 20-something musician living near National City who holds clues to Reign's true identity." (TVLine.com)
