CINDY SNOW (FOX, New!) - Steve Yockey is developing a new comedy at the network which "follows Cindy Snow, who is the most popular local meteorologist in Savannah, GA, but behind the cameras, she's - not nice. When a freak head injury at work triggers surreal glimpses of the future, Cindy's life quickly unspools. In this pitch black comedy, Cindy is cosmically dragged towards being a better person, kicking and screaming the entire way." Warner Bros. Television and FOX Entertainment are behind the project, which Yockey is currently working on backup material with an eye towards a possible straight-to-series order. (Deadline.com)
EAST NEW YORK (CBS, New!) - The Eye has issued a pilot order to William Finkelstein and Mike Flynn for a new drama which "follows Regina Haywood, the newly promoted police captain of East New York, an impoverished, working class neighborhood at the eastern edge of Brooklyn. She leads a diverse group of officers and detectives, some of whom are reluctant to deploy her creative methods of serving and protecting during the midst of social upheaval and the early seeds of gentrification." Mike Robin of Skyemac Productions and Christine and Mark Holder of Wonder Street will also executive produce for Warner Bros. Television. (Variety.com)
GOLDEN SPOON, THE (Hulu, New!) - Aline Brosh McKenna is developing a limited series at the streamer based on the upcoming novel by Jessica Olien, "set in the idyllic world of TV baking competitions.

Heather Morris will also co-executive produce for McKenna's ABC Signature-based Lean Machine banner. (Deadline.com)
