Oprah is doing a series of features for the US edition of 60 Minutes.
CBS (US Television Network)
CBS has made an order for an un-named pilot.
The project centers on the multi-generational members of a Mexican-American family with deep roots in San Diego who intertwine personally and professionally due to their powerful careers in law enforcement.
The Get is a workplace drama that centres on a team of tireless internet journalists who pursue and expose the stories of injustice using their unconventional investigative techniques in today’s anything-goes world of reporting.
Killer Instinct is the adaptation of James Patterson’s forthcoming novel as a former CIA operative who has since built a “normal” life as a gifted professor and writer who is pulled back into his old life when the NYPD needs his help to stop a serial killer on the loose.
Perfect Citizen is a drama that revolves around the former General Counsel for the NSA who, after his involvement as a whistleblower in an international scandal, embarks on a new career at a storied law firm in Boston. There, he faces the reality that while half the country thinks he’s our greatest patriot, the other half thinks he’s a traitor.
9J, 9K, and 9L is a multicamera family comedy written by Dana Klein and Mark Feuerstein, with the latter attached to star. It is inspired by a time in Feuerstein’s adult life when the actor lived in apartment 9K in the building he grew up in, sandwiched between his parents’ apartment, 9J, and his brother, sister-in-law and their baby’s apartment, 9L. The project attempts to set boundaries with his intrusive but well-meaning family.
Mission Control centres on the next generation of NASA astronauts and scientists juggling both their personal and professional lives during a critical mission with no margin for error.
Another untitled project:
The untitled project follows an elite team of investigators for the Northeast Regional U.S. Hate Crimes Unit who solve a myriad of crimes against humanity as they confront their own biases.

Reboot of S.W.A.T. has been ordered to series.
It centres on a locally born and bred S.W.A.T. lieutenant who is torn between loyalty to the streets and duty to his fellow officers when he’s tasked to run a highly trained unit that is the last stop for solving crimes in Los Angeles.
Bothered Up revolves around an emotionally guarded African-American cop who is partnered with an emotionally available Pakistani cop. Together, they are forced to find a way to connect as they patrol a Detroit neighbourhood.
Living Biblically is based on the book The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs.
Distefano centres on Izzy and Chris, two 20-somethings raising their newborn daughter and merging their meddling families — one Puerto Rican, one Italian.
Wisdom of the Crowd has been given a pilot order.
The project is inspired by the notion that a million minds are better than one, a tech innovator creates a cutting edge crowd-sourcing hub to solve his own daughter’s murder, as well as revolutionising crime solving in San Francisco.
9JKL (formerly 9J, 9K, 9L)
A family comedy inspired by a time in Mark Feuerstein’s adult life when he lived in apartment 9K in the building he grew up in, sandwiched between his doting parents’ apartment, 9J, and his brother, sister-in-law and their baby’s apartment, 9L, and his attempts to set boundaries with his intrusive but well-meaning family.
ME, MYSELF & I
A single-camera comedy examining one man’s life over a 50-year span. The show will focus on three distinct periods in his life – as a 14-year-old in 1991, a 40-year-old in present day, and a 65-year-old in 2042.
YOUNG SHELDON

WISDOM OF THE CROWD
Inspired by the notion that a million minds are better than one, a visionary tech innovator (Jeremy Piven) creates a cutting-edge crowdsourcing app to solve his daughter’s murder, and revolutionize crime solving in the process. Based on the Israeli format of the same name.
