NBC has given early orders to two new dramas, Kidnapped and The Black Donnellys, the network reported during its pre-upfront meeting, Mediaweek reports. Both series were given 13 episode orders.
NBC Entertainment president Kevin Reilly also reiterated that NBC was moving away from the traditional development cycle, ramping up a new slate of programs in June for on-air consideration in spring and summer 2007, Reuters reports. He talked up what he referred to as NBC’s most aggressive summer lineup yet, including the drama Windfall, which will start in the Thursday 10 p.m. slot inhabited by ER.
Kidnapped stars Dana Delany and Timothy Hutton as a wealthy New York couple whose son is abducted. The Black Donnellys is from the creative team behind Oscar-winning film Crash and is about four Irish-American brothers who enter a life of crime on the mean streets of Manhattan.
