Bruckheimer is executive producing, with a script by Aron Eli Coleite ("Heroes," "The River"). The project comes from Warner Horizon Television.

"King and Maxwell," meanwhile, follows Secret Service agents turned private investigators Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, who "aren't the typical pair of private investigators." Based on characters created by author David Baldacci, the pilot is being executive produced by "NCIS" vet Shane Brennan, with Baldacci serving as a consultant. The pilot, from CBS Television Studios, will be produced by Karen Spiegel ("Absolute Power") and Grant Anderson ("Third Watch").
