Lifetime is diving heavily into the crime drama genre, ordering three police procedural pilots from notable showrunners.
The network has picked up shows from Josh Berman ("CSI," "Bones"), Annie Brunner ("Huff") and Jeffrey Bell ("V").
"With a strong foundation in scripted programming firmly established by 'Army Wives' and 'Drop Dead Diva,' Lifetime is aggressively expanding its drama series development plate with powerful programs from creative auspices who have strong pedigrees in producing stand-out programming," Lifetime Networks general manager and president Nancy Dubuc said. "These pilots developed by (executive vp entertainment) JoAnn (Alfano) and her team are the first steps we will take in bringing Lifetime's scripted strategy to the forefront."
