NBC 'picks up Bruckheimer pilot'

NBC has reportedly picked up a pilot from producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

The untitled procedural series will centre on a team which makes sure that fugitive criminals do not evade the law, Variety reports.

Jennifer Johnson is attached as writer for the series, which will be produced through Warner Brothers and Bruckheimer TV. She will also serve as the show's executive producer, along with Pirates of the Caribbean financier Jonathan Littman and KristieAnne Reed.

The project is the second that the Peacock Network has ordered from the production company after previously collaborating on military drama E-Ring in 2005.

Bruckheimer's corporation currently has eight shows on the air, including Miami Trauma on CBS and The Forgotten on ABC.

It was recently announced that he is to produce a film adaptation of comic book World War Robot.
