CBS has given put-pilot commitments to two new Greg Berlanti dramas, TheWrap has learned.

The orders come ahead of the premiere of the executive producer’s series “Supergirl” on Oct. 26.

“Out of Body” from writer Jennifer Johnson follows a criminal who finds himself transported into the bodies of people in peril, and must use his experience to keep from being killed.

A second untitled pilot from Chris Fedak follows a young tech genius billionaire utilizes his cutting-edge technology and resources to partner with a street-smart but old-school San Francisco police detective to solve crimes committed by 21st century criminals.

Berlanti will executive produce both pilots with Sarah Schechter for Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
