J.J. Abrams does some major networking

With NBC picking up the pilot for the apocalyptic drama Revolution, ABC has become the only American broadcast network left that does not have a project being produced by Star Trek (2009) director J.J. Abrams. An early log line for the show reads:

“In this epic adventure thriller, a family struggles to reunite in a post-apocalyptic American landscape; a world of empty cities, local militias and heroic freedom fighters, where every single piece of technology — computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights — has mysteriously blacked out... forever.”

Over at CW, J.J. Abrams has teamed with One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwahn to make Shelter which takes place at a New England summer resort where comic and emotional mayhem ensues as the hospitality staff attempts to meet the needs of guests and their own private lives. Fox has added the supernatural prison tale Alcatraz to go along with the science fiction procedural Fringe, and CBS has recently given a full-season order to the vigilante justice series Person of Interest.
