Joining FOX on the pilot pickups, NBC made the first of its moves tonight ordering sitcom Marry Me and dramas State of Affairs, Allegiance, and Odyssey.
Marry Me is a single camera sitcom about a young engaged couple who suddenly realize they maybe rushed into things. Starring Casey Wilson, Ken Marino, and Tim Meadows, the show has been a frontrunner for most of pilot season and it features Happy Endings' alum Wilson as well as her real life fiance, creator David Caspe.
State of Affairs marks the return of Katherine Heigl to TV. The show stars Heigl as a CIA agent who is a close advisor to the president. It seems to be in the high stakes, Scandal type of world. The drama also stars Alfre Woodard and Leslie Odom Jr. This could be a contender for the post-Voice slot.
Another contender could be Allegiance, which has been a frontrunner for awhile now. Based on an Israeli format, the show is about a war hero and patriot who doesn't know his family is part of a dormant Russian sleeper cell that has just been reactivated. There are a lot of shows that seem to be incorporating elements of Scandal, The Blacklist, The Americans, House of Cards, etc.
The third drama picked up was Odyssey. The show is similar to the Oscar winning movie Traffic in that it revolves around three families who are all impacted by a member of their family pulled into an international military conspiracy. See what I mean about the themes of these dramas this year? This drama features Anna Friel and Treat Williams among other.
These four shows join previous picked up comedies Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (formerly Tooken) and Mr. Robinson and dramas/event series Aquarius, Emerald City, and Heroes: Reborn.
