ABC and NBC are reportedly 'battling' it out over a new drama by Lost producer JJ Abrams.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, both networks are interested in the project, which sparked a bidding war when it hit the marketplace last week. CBS is also said to be in pursuit of the drama.

The show, which revolves around a husband and wife working alongside each other as two spies, sees Abrams team up with Josh Reims, who recently worked on ABC's Brothers & Sisters and Dirty Sexy Money.
