CBS gets into the JJ Abrams/Jonah Nolan show, Cinemax picks up “24 meets Call of Duty”, and Fox snags a medical drama from NBC. Meanwhile, ABC adds a couple directors, Cinemax adds 3 directors for previously mentioned, CW adds 1 for OC reunion project (of sorts), Fox adds a pair of brothers for Council of Dads, and NBC adds David Slade for Inception-like pilot, and Jeffrey Reiner to bring a certain princess superhero to life!

ABC reboots two foreign formats, snags another musical series, and an action/adventure adaptation, CBS continues their Zuicker affair with Detail, CW gets a little jealous and decides to go supernatural with Zuicker, and musical with Prickly, while Disney Channel finds a little Gravity, Fox finds Godfrey and a Free Ride, Starz eyes Hollywood’s nightlife, and SyFy says yes (again) to Alphas!
