TV Pilots 2016: The Complete Guide to What Lives, Dies and Still Has a Pulse

Following yet another development season that started late and featured a new round of reboots, the broadcast networks are again gearing up for a busy pilot season as they compete with not only one another, but with basic and premium cable as well as streaming services including Netflix, Amazon and Hulu — all of whom are making major scripted pushes.

The networks continue to look for intellectual property to help cut through the increasing clutter and, after such success stories as Fox’s Empire, are turning to soapy fare in addition to tried-and-true procedurals and medical dramas. Also hot this development season were military and crime dramas in the vein of popular podcast Serial.

Here’s a look at the pilots in contention for the 2016-17 television season, as ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and The CW sift through hundreds of scripts and move forward in a bid to find the next breakout comedies and dramas. 

The Hollywood Reporter will be updating the grid throughout pilot and casting season, so be sure to bookmark this page and come back for the latest news.

(Note: Not included are limited/event and miniseries or other projects earmarked for the summer; * designates casting has been completed.)
