CBS Greenlights NY-LON, Two More Drama Pilots

Variety reports that CBS has picked up three more drama projects. The CBS orders include the pilots NY-LON, from ABC Studios and writers Patti Carr and Lara Runnels, and Mythological X, from 20th Century Fox TV and writer Diane Ruggiero. The network also picked up the drama presentation Can Openers, from Sony Pictures TV and penned by Elle Johnson.

NY-LON is based on a six-episode U.K. series that aired on Channel 4 in fall 2004. The project centers on a man and a woman who attempt an extremely-long distance romance (between New York and London) after a chance meeting in London. (Rashida Jones starred in the British version.)

Mythological X revolves around a woman who discovers – via psychic – that she has already dated the man she was destined to married. The character then embarks on a mission to find “the one” by combing through all of her old relationships.

Can Openers centers on a woman in her 20s as she enters a seven-year neurosurgical residency, encountering a competitive, clubby atmosphere along the way.
