David Lampson and Andrew Leeds wrote and created the possible series, which is also being executive-produced by Michael Wilmer of Tolan's Fedora Entertainment.

Tolan, who also wrote the screenplay for the big-screen adaptation of "Baywatch," will have his hands full this year, as he and Wilmer developed two other projects that received pilot orders in January.

"Rake," a drama starring Greg Kinnear, was ordered to pilot at Fox, while CBS ordered an untitled Jim Gaffigan comedy from Fedora Entertainment to pilot.
