'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Duo Scores NBC Pilot Order for Detective Comedy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" co-creator Dan Goor and executive producer Luke
Del Tredici have secured a pilot order from NBC for an untitled
detective comedy.

Per the cheeky logline, the project "continues the proud tradition
of Los Angeles private eyes that began with Philip Marlowe and will
end with this show."

The pilot will be executive produced by Goor and Del Tredici, and
the studio is Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio
Group. No additional details about the pilot, including who might be
cast in it, were revealed.

This is one of many pilots ordered by NBC in the past week. On
Thursday, the network announced a drama pilot from Dean Georgaris and
John Fox, inspired by the real-life FBI research of Dr. Ann Burgess.
Earlier this week, the network announced a drama pilot order from
Josh Safran, Jenna Bush Hager and Ben Spector called "Protection,"
about a family of law enforcement agents becoming the target of a
mysterious assassin. Plus, NBC gave a pilot order to a "contemporary
update" on "The Rockford Files" from Mike Daniels ("Sons of Anarchy").

The network also announced a comedy series in development called "Last
Chance Lawyer," starring Henry Winkler as an unorthodox criminal
defense attorney who is a fierce advocate for his underdog clients,
believing, according to the logline, "that no matter what they are
accused of, the system is always guiltier."

Also on the NBCUniversal comedy front is "Dig," a series from Michael
Schur ("The Office," "Parks and Recreation") and Amy Poehler about
four archaeologists who are pulled into an international conspiracy.
That show is set to debut on Peacock.

NBC Orders Two More Drama Pilots:
'What the Dead Know' From Dick Wolf and a 'Puzzle Master' Adaptation
--------------------------------------------------------------------
It's raining pilot orders at NBC.

The network will take a chance on two new drama projects, titled
"Puzzled" and "What the Dead Know." This caps off a week in which
NBC announced six pilot orders for the 2026 season.

From "Charmed" and "Sleepy Hollow" writer Joey Falco, "Puzzled" is
based on the "Puzzle Master" books by Danielle Trussoni. "After
barely escaping a tragic fire, once promising college athlete Mike
Brink is transformed by a traumatic brain injury that gives him the
unique ability to see the world in an unexpected way and helps him
solve crimes with local police," according to the logline. Jordan
Cerf executive produces alongside Falco, and Trussoni is a producer.
The studio is Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio
Group.

Legendary "Law & Order" creator Dick Wolf serves as an executive
producer on the other pilot, "What the Dead Know," from Beth Rinehart
("FBI: Most Wanted," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"). The series
is based on the memoir by former New York City medical examiner
Barbara Butcher. Per the logline: "Death Investigator Ava Ledger is
really good with dead bodies. It's the living that give her trouble."
The show follows Ava as she teams up with the NYPD to solve their
toughest cases. The executive producers include Tom Thayer, Peter
Jankowski and Anastasia Puglisi; Co-EPs are Kevin Plunkett, Rebecca
McGill and Butcher. Wolf Entertainment produces, and Universal
Television is the studio.
