“Star Trek” director J.J. Abrams is once again using his producing magic to get another TV series off the ground. Yes, I know that “What About Brian” and “Six Degrees” were both cancelled, but he’s had some success with the last two projects he helped launch, “Lost” and “Fringe”. Now he’s going to try to give NBC a dramatic hit they sorely need in their line-up with “Undercovers”. Hit the jump for details.
THR reports that, schedule permitting, Abrams will make “Undercovers” the first TV pilot he has directed since 2004’s “Lost” opener. According to THR, it was the success of that pilot which helped Abrams get the gigs for “Mission: Impossible III” and later “Star Trek”. This means that no one took much notice of the episodes he directed of “Felicity” and “Alias”. Good thing that “Lost” turned out to be one of the best television series of all-time. »
