Synopsis: When an international flight lands at Boston’s Logan Airport and the passengers and crew have all died grisly deaths, FBI Special Agent Olivia Dunham is called in to investigate. After her partner, Special Agent John Scott is nearly killed during the investigation, a desperate Olivia searches frantically for someone to help, leading her to Dr. Walter Bishop our generation’s Einstein. There’s only one catch: he’s been institutionalized for the last 20 years, and the only way to question him requires pulling his estranged son Peter in to help.

Executive Producer: Abraham Higginbotham (Back to You, Will & Grace)
Genre: Comedy
Synopsis: A comedy series centering on the employees of a trendy, glamorous, chic and hip New York City hotel that runs like clockwork -- but only in the lobby. Behind the scenes, there's a savagely comic struggle for power, between the manager, who runs the hotel like his own private gentleman's club and the Human Resources Manager, a ghetto-fabulous woman who keeps trying to stop the manager from being the root cause of yet another lawsuit.
Cast: Niecy Nash (Reno 911), Jerry O'Connell (Carpoolers, Crossing Jordan, Las Vegas)

Secret Millionaire
Studio: RDF USA
Executive Producer: Chris Coelen (Don't Forget the Lyrics), Greg Goldman (Don't Forget the Lyrics)
Genre: Reality
Synopsis: America’s wealthiest individuals will leave their lavish lifestyles, sprawling mansions and private planes to go undercover into some of the most impoverished neighborhoods in America. Shot under the guise of a documentary, the series reveals the dramatic personal return that millionaires will get when they leave their fortunes to invest in those less fortunate. Challenged with living on minimum wage, the millionaires will immerse themselves in situations beyond their comprehension. They will work side-by-side with community members and befriend those in need to decide who should ultimately receive their gifts of a lifetime. The millionaires will be touched by the people they meet. Some will inspire with their dedication to helping others, while others will relay stories of overcoming tremendous odds. On the final day, the Secret Millionaires meet with the chosen recipients and reveal their true identity and intention: to give them at least $100,000 – often times more – of their own money and to change their lives forever.
Cast: TBA
