ABC has passed on several TV pilots, including Public Defenders, Keeping It Together, The Hurt Unit, and Judgement. However, ABC Signature plans to shop The Hurt Unit to other networks and platforms, while 20th Television will be shopping Public Defenders and Judgement. The decision comes after ABC made the majority of its pickup and cancellation decisions last month.
The writers strike is expected to affect pickup decisions for TV pilots, as networks face the possibility that no newly ordered or renewed scripted series could go into production for months. ABC is said to be high on Drew Goddard’s untitled hourlong character-based procedural starring Kaitlin Olson, while CBS has strong contenders with Matlock and The Good Wife universe offshoot Elsbeth. NBC is not expected to make a call on most of its pilots until after it unveils its schedule on May 15.
