ABC has ordered a new legal-based drama pilot from the former showrunner of Charmed, Joey Falco, according to Deadline.
What’s Happening:
- ABC has ordered a pilot for a new legal soap from Joey Falco, who previously worked on Charmed, Sleepy Hollow, and Heroes Reborn.
- The new series, Judgement, will reportedly play out over two timelines. Fifteen years from now, a woman being vetted for a Supreme Court seat recounts her experience at a prominent D.C. law firm in 2023, where the only thing more controversial than the cases was her messy love life, caught between two feuding brothers. Now, with a Supreme Court seat on the line, all of her darkest secrets are at risk of coming out, threatening her nomination, her reputation, and her marriage.
- 20th Television is the studio producing the new series with Melvin Mar, Jake Kasdan and Jordan Cerf also set to executive produce alongside Falco.
- The new series is the latest pilot order from ABC. Earlier this fall, it handed a pilot order to Drew Goddard for a drama series based on French series HIP.
- Simran Sethi, EVP Programming and Content Strategy, ABC Entertainment, told Deadline earlier this fall, regarding the new programming strategy for the network, “It’s about a first cycle and batch of pilots like the Drew Goddard [project], which will be for fall of 2023 and we’ll continue with those pickups over the course of the fall.” Judgemental is the latest of those pickups and pilot orders.
