The CW Greenlights Political Drama Pilot Body Politic

The CW has picked up a pilot order for Body Politic. The show gives a look at D.C. politics through the eyes of optimistic young staffers, focusing on a young woman who moves to D.C. to work for a Senator and the other eager up-and-comers with whom she becomes friends.

Jason Rothenberg and Bill Robinson wrote the script and will executive produce with Peter Horton. Body Politic is the second Capitol Hill-set pilot this season, along with the CBS drama House Rules, about freshmen congressmen/congresswomen.
