The CW just augmented their pilot slate by 300 percent with orders for two new drama pilots: “Identity” from Fox’s “Sleepy Hollow” producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci and “Jane the Virgin” from “Emily Owens, M.D.” producer Jennie Snyder Urman.
“Identity” hales from CBS Television Studios in association with Kurtzman and Orci’s production company, K.O. Paper Products with executive producer Heather Kadin and Scripted World’s Rob Golenberg and Alon Aranya. Corinne Brinkerhoff will write and executive produce the project.
It follows a young woman in need of a transplant who learns she’s related to a powerful family whose son is her only hope for a donor organ. Things get complicated when the CIA approaches her to investigate the family’s involvement in domestic terrorism and to infiltrate their rarified world. Her loyalty, morality and ethics are tested as she’s forced to slowly build a case against the family who saved her life.
“Jane the Virgin” is adapted from the successful Venezuelan telenovela. The project portrays a series of surprising and unforeseen events that cause a hard-working, religious young Latina woman to be accidentally artificially inseminated.
Also from CBS Television studio, in association with Electus, Urman will executive produce and write. Ben Silverman, Gary Pearl and Jorge Granier will also executive produce.
