RUNNER (FOX/20th; W: Michael Cooney; D: Peter Horton) - The long-in-the-works drama - about Lauren Marks, who after a simple twist of fate, learns her husband is not the person she believed him to be; faced with the harsh reality that her life is forever changed, she goes on a truth seeking journey that entrenches her in a US/Mexican war over weapons and terrorism - has received a cast-contingent pilot order. The project previously had "an off-cycle commitment for further investment towards series production." Ian Sander and Kim Moses are executive producing alongside showrunner Jon Cowan. (Deadline.com)

No other auspices were given. (Deadline.com)
UNTITLED BRIAN BRADLEY/STEVEN CRAGG PROJECT (NBC, New!) - Steven Cragg and Brian Bradley ("Happy Endings") have sold a potential comedy to the Peacock about "a pop science blogger and his wife who move from Manhattan and single life to New Jersey and married/family life. There, he begins writing about his suburban friends and neighbors on the cul-de-sac in the style of an anthropologist who's stumbled on an undiscovered tribe." Said effort comes from Universal Television with the studio-based David Janollari also on board to executive produce. (Deadline.com)
