Digital Spy have rounded up the new shows from NBC:New dramas for 2007-08 on the NBC schedule are Journeyman, a new Monday night series which NBC's Reilly said received some of the highest scores in internal testing the network has seen "in years"; Chuck, a comedic spy-thriller from The O.C.'s Josh Schwartz; Bionic Woman, a remake of the classic 1970s series starring ex-EastEnder Michelle Ryan; Life, a new crime drama starring Damian Lewis as a "complex" and "offbeat" detective; and Lipstick Jungle, a dramedy following the story of fashion magazine editor Nico, played by 24's Kim Raver.Hollywood Reporter noted back in December:
Damian Lewis has been tapped to play the lead on NBC's drama pilot "Life."The Damian Lewis website has even more about the series including a photo of the actor in uniform.
Sarah Shahi also has been cast in the project, from writer/executive producer Rand Ravich and NBC Universal TV Studio.
"Life" is a quirky drama about a former cop (Lewis) who rejoins the force after having spent years wrongly imprisoned. Shahi will play his partner with a checkered past.
David Semel is directing the pilot and is executive producing with Ravich and Far Shariat.
Lewis joins the list of British actors playing American characters on tv, he's already used the accent in Band of Brothers and the (dreadful) film Dreamcatcher.
Representatives of international television networks will be in Hollywood this week for special screenings of the new TV programs; hopefully some of them will purchase LIFE so that it can be seen outside of the US - you may want to contact your local networks and ask for LIFE. KathyV
