CBS And NBC Order New Pilots

Conan O’Brien’s production company has landed a pilot at NBC about a man who gets a second shot at life, Variety reported. CBS, meanwhile, picked up what it called an Indiana Jones-type drama pilot.

O’Brien’s Conaco, along with NBC Universal TV Studio, is behind an as-yet-untitled hourlong drama, formerly titled The Haskett Chronicles, from writer Willie Reale (Keen Eddie).

The potential series revolves around a politician who is murdered but is given a chance to come back to the physical world in order to save his soul. This time, he’s at a much lower stage in life.

CBS, meanwhile, ordered the pilot Under Pressure, which centers on a “modern-day Indiana Jones” who takes on mysteries from the past and the present.
