WILL AND JADA BRING PILOT TO CBS: Couple is behind a new drama set at the CDC.
*Last July at the Television Critics Association Press Conference in Pasadena, Jada Pinkett Smith hinted around at a new project that she and her husband Will were pitching to the networks, but she refused to elaborate for fear of jinxing the process.
It’s now been confirmed that CBS has given a put pilot commitment to the project, which hails from CBS Paramount Network TV and Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment.
It was Jada who came up with the concept for the untitled drama that follows doctors at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who fight the maladies and viruses that threaten people worldwide.
The Smiths will executive produce the pilot with James Lassiter, Smith's partner at Overbrook. The show will be written by Jan Nash and Jennifer Levin, who became close while working together on CBS' crime drama "Without a Trace," co-produced by CBS Par TV.
The project marks Overbrook's second foray into television following its sitcom "All of Us," which the Smiths co-created and are executive producing. The family sitcom just launched its fourth season on the CW following previous years on The WB.
