Bad Girls co-creators Eileen Gallagher and Ann McManus are to work with Bones executive producer Barry Josephson on a US dramedy pilot set in a big city hospital.

The pilot, which has been given the green light by Fox, will see Gallagher and McManus in co-executive producer roles, according to Variety.

The trade publication also reported that Fox has given the go-ahead to two other pilots: one, from Prison Break's Marty Adelstein and Michael Thorn will follow the story of Supreme Court clerks, while the second, Canterbury's Law, follows the story of a female defence lawyer.
