New Kyle Killen pilot picked up by NBC
12:38 p.m.: Updated to add quote from Killen.
The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Austinite Kyle Killen’s hour-long dramatic pilot, “REM,” has been picked up by NBC in a sweep of four projects.
From the article:
“REM,” an hourlong project from Killen, is described as a procedural hybrid that centers on the simultaneous and parallel lives of a detective who can’t let go of any aspect of his fractured family after a car accident. Killen wrote and will executive produce for 20th TV. Killen created the short-lived (and complicated) Fox soap “Lone Star” that debuted to abysmal numbers (4.1 million) in September of last year.
“I’m very excited that NBC has given me another chance to corner the market on shows that people don’t watch or understand,” the self-deprecating Killen told me on Friday. “I will try hard not to let them down.”
