Jessica Shulman also serves as an executive producer for 20th Century Fox Television and Baer Bones. Its logline is as follows: "Each week: three challenging medical cases. In the end, two will live, one will die. Their doctor - with a clinical fear of death - never stops fighting the odds."
DECEPTION (ABC) - Jack Cutmore-Scott ("Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life") has been tapped as the male lead on the drama pilot, about Cameron Black, a superstar magician who, when his career is ruined by scandal, goes to work as a consultant for the FBI. (Deadline.com)

LOSING IT (ABC) - Julie Anne Robinson has signed on to helm the single-camera comedy pilot, about three misfit adult siblings and their parents who - between divorce, new parenthood, early-onset dementia and let's just say life - are all losing it in different ways; and family is the only way they're going to find it. (Deadline.com)
MACHINE, THE (Syfy) - Bridger Zadina, Olly Rix and Malachi Kirby are the latest to board the drama pilot. Zadina will play Santiago, "an agoraphobic young hacker who - after uncovering the dangerous truth behind those he believed to be his allies - is cast out into the world he desperately fears." Rix then is set as James, "the principal test subject of a secret Ministry of Defense Artificial Intelligence program"; with Kirby as Aaron, "a lonely and out of place young man who created an A.I. as his best friend - benevolent, brilliant, supportive, and in many ways, his equal." Andrew Miller has also been confirmed as an executive producer. (Deadline.com)

SCALPED (WGN America) - Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi are set to direct the long-in-the-works drama pilot, based on the Vertigo Comics title about the Oglala Lakota inhabitants in the fictional Prairie Rose Indian Reservation in South Dakota as they grapple with organized crime, poverty, drug and alcohol addiction and local politics while trying to preserve their cultural identity. (Deadline.com)
SCROLL, THE (FOX, New!) - Michael Elliot (Brown Sugar) has sold a potential drama to the network which "will reimagine some of the Bible's most popular stories in present day through a group of friends and colleagues that are modern-day versions of some of the Bible's most notable characters." 20th Century Fox Television is behind the hour with Relevé Entertainment's Holly Carter and Flavor Unit Television's Queen Latifah and Shakim Compere likewise executive producing. (Deadline.com)
SEARCHERS (The CW) - William Miller has scored a role on the drama pilot as Bosch, "the swashbuckling ship captain of the Prometheus, Bosch is a mysterious old soul who's still haunted by his experiences with the unknown." (Deadline.com)

She'll play said woman, Lou, with Whitlock as Bill, "a geologist in the Antarctic research team in Antarctica who is a little intimidating, and has no patience for idiots." James Ponsoldt is also now slated to direct. (Deadline.com)
