After a long sting at CBS TV Studios, veteran drama showrunner Ken Sanzel has inked an overall deal with Universal Television. Under the two-year pact, Sanzel will develop, executive produce and supervise new projects for Universal. The former New York City cop, who was a member of the Decoy Squad in the NYC Transit Police Department, currently serves as executive producer/showrunner on the CBS/CBS Studios midseason drama NYC22, executive produced by Robert De Niro. Before that, Sanzel spent several years as executive producer/showrunner on the CBS/CBS Studios long-running drama Numbers. “Ken is a talented showrunner and possesses all the skills to create and sustain a hit show,” Universal TV’s Evp Bela Bajaria said. “Additionally, having had a prior life in the NYPD, Ken brings a unique, authentic, fresh perspective to everything he does.” Sanzel, repped by UTA and manager Jeff Field, previously created the series...

Welcome to your Wednesday morning television briefing. A few things to get through before I hit the road for San Diego and Comic-Con. Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello is reporting that Olivia Munn (the newly minted Daily Show correspondent) will guest star on NBC's Chuck this fall when the series returns for its fourth season on September 20th. Munn, who is a series regular on NBC's midseason comedy Perfect Couples, will play "an impossibly cool, smart, and pretty CIA agent who intimidates and schools Chuck and Morgan" in the same installment that features Dolph Lundgren. (Entertainment Weekly's Ausiello Files) In other scoop, Ausiello writes that former Friday Night Lights star Scott Porter will be joining the cast of CBS' The Good Wife this fall. Porter, whose CW pilot Nomads was not ordered to series, will play Blake, described as "Kalinda’s private-eye counterpart at the D.C. firm that’s merging...

Life in a Day seems like a filmmaking dare made in the wee hours after a determined effort to kill brain cells. The concept behind the “historic cinematic experiment” is that on July 24, anyone with a video camera can film and then upload footage to YouTube, with the hope that it will then be incorporated and edited into a cohesive feature documentary about mankind. “One World. 24 Hours. 6 Billion Perspectives,” is how it’s being sold. (Watch a promo below.)

One of the best parts of upfronts week is finding out which of your favorite actors will be back on TV in the fall with new shows. Sometimes, the returning faces have been long absent from the small screen. (Keri Russell, we missed you so!) Other times, it makes the end of one great show a little more bearable. Take Friday Night Lights, which is in production on its fifth and likely last season. Several cast members are already preparing for the end. Fnl alum Adrianne Palicki plays one of two wives to a Texas con artist in Fox’s Lonestar.

CW -- Of the CW pilots this season, I hear only ensemble medical drama Hms and globe-trotting adventure Nomads remain in contention for midseason consideration. I also hear the network may look at pilots produced for other broadcast networks. At its upfront presentation today, the CW announced only one midseason series, the reality show Shedding For The Wedding. At a press conference after the presentation, CW entertainment president Dawn Ostroff said she is planning to order scripted midseason series but wouldn't specify how many and when. The more male-skewing action-adventure Nomads, from producers Ridley and Tony Scott, is considered a "big-swing" [...]...

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the fifth and final one announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the list over on The CW.
While the "Melrose Place" remake didn't work and the Mischa Barton-led "The Beautiful Life" proved an utter disaster that scored the first axing of the season, the smallest and newest of the networks managed to generate a solid hit for itself with "The Vampire Diaries" and a modest hit in "Life Unexpected" over these past twelve months.
The success was needed as its various dramas like "90210," "One Tree Hill," "Gossip Girl" and "Supernatural" saw dips, while the move of "Smallville" to Friday nights has almost halved its regular audience. Yet most of the shows have scored better reviews this past season and there's a sense that the network may finally be through its worst growing pains.

Nothing is 100% yet, but The CW is reportedly "strongly considering" renewing "One Tree Hill" and "Life Unexpected" for 12 episodes each, according to Entertainment Weekly.
As for new shows, "Nikita" (an update of "La Femme Nikita") is said to be a sure thing, but two other possible pick-ups are still on the fence.
"Nomads" might get a possible mid-season order. The project stars "Friday Night Lights" alum Scott Porter, Michaela McManus Normal 0 false false false En-us X-none X-none MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 ("One Tree Hill," "Law & Order: Svu") and Luke Ford as young travelers who agree to work for the CIA to fund their worldwide travels.
"Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino's untitled Wyoming project has reportedly not been building much buzz thus far. The project stars Sean Faris ("The Vampire Diaries," "Reunion") as a horse trainer who must take over his parents' ranch after their death.

Warning: The following info is purely speculative and should by no means be taken as gospel. We’re heading into upfront week, people, and rumors are flying fast and furious. Here’s what some of the loudest chatter is centered on…
The CW is said to be strongly considering renewing both One Tree Hill and Life Unexpected for 12 episodes apiece. Among new shows, the Nikita reboot is a lock, Scott Porter’s Nomads is flirting with a possible midseason order, and Asp’s The Wyoming Project is… generating absolutely no buzz.

The CW will announce its lineup for the 2010-11 season on May 20, but you can get a peek at two of its possible new shows right now.
The network has released a couple of images from its pilots "Nomads" and the untitled Wyoming project (also known as "The Damn Thorpes"). "Nomads" stars "Friday Night Lights" alum Scott Porter, Michaela McManus ("One Tree Hill," "Law & Order: Svu") and Luke Ford as young travelers who, as a way to finance their treks to various spots around the world, agree to work for the CIA. Here's a shot of Porter:
And another of Porter and Jeremiah Hundley. We're guessing there was a complication in the mission.
The Wyoming project comes from "Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband/creative partner, Daniel Palladino. It stars Sean Faris ("The Vampire Diaries," "Reunion") as a horse trainer who's forced to take over his parents' ranch...

One Tree Hill alum Michaela McManus has scored the female lead in The CW's promising Alias-esqe pilot Nomads, sources confirm to me exclusively. The underrated McManus, who followed up her Oth run with a year-long stint as Ada Kim Greylek on Law & Order: Svu, will play a brave and resourceful Army Brat determined to earn a place in the CIA. She finds herself fighting an attraction to her handler (Mental's Warren Kole) and a fellow agent-in-training (Friday Night Lights' Scott Porter).

Scott Porter is the latest "Friday Night Lights" veteran to land a pilot role this development season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Porter will play a lead in The CW's "Nomads," from producers Ridley and Tony Scott and writer Ken Sanzel. "Nomads" focuses on a group of young backpackers who somehow become become involved in secret missions for the CIA. We've heard good things about the script, but it perplexes us a bit. Porter can currently be seen in a recurring role on Syfy's "Caprica" or on the big screen in "Dear John." But to us, he'll always...

Fans of “Friday Night Lights” will remember Scott Porter as Jason Street, the small-town Texas high school football star who, in the show’s first episode, was injured and spent the rest of the show in a wheelchair. How’s that for a curve ball? Besides being an alum of “Fnl”, Porter is also one of many young names rumored to be testing for Marvel Studios’ “Captain America” movie. Which makes his casting as one of the male leads in the CW’s action-adventure show “Nomads” interesting — does this mean he didn’t get the Marvel gig? “Nomads” is a new show by Ken Sanzel and producers Ridley and Tony Scott, and follows a group of nearly broke young American backpackers in Europe who agree to earn money by working secret missions for the CIA. Now that’s what I call a part-time job!

Sources confirm to me exclusively that the network has tapped the Friday Night Lights Mvp to star in Nomads, an hour-long drama pilot about a group of young backpackers who work odd jobs for the CIA. Porter will play John, a magnetic and forceful college grad who is determined to find his missing brother. The project hails from Ken Sanzel (Numb3rs).
