Lost executive producer Jeff Pinkner is joining the new sci-fi series from long-time colleague JJ Abrams.

Abrams, who created Lost and previously worked with Pinkner on Alias, is now making a two-hour pilot and 13-part series of Fringe.

Pinkner will be executive producer and showrunner on the project, which follows young FBI agent Olivia Warren and two others as they "confront the spread of unexplained phenomena".

The show will star Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek) and is expected to air on Fox in the US from September.
