Past Friedman projects set up at Fox include last year's passed over pilot Locke & Key and 2008 series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. This past summer, he inked a three-year deal with 20th TV, which entailed working on his own projects as well as joining The Finder as a consulting producer.
The pilot joins Kevin Williamson's untitled serial killer drama and Greg Berlanti's legal drama Guilty, both ordered to pilot last week.
Friedman, whose big screen credits include The Black Dahlia and War of the Worlds, is repped by UTA.
