Telemystery: NBC Orders Pilot for Crime Drama Notorious

In other news from NBC tonight — we earlier reported on the network ordering a crime thriller adapted from Thomas Harris's Red Dragon — a pilot has been ordered for a suspense series that sounds suspiciously like ABC's Revenge … our favorite new show of this season.

Titled Notorious — no relationship to the Hitchcock classic — the potential series features a female detective returning uncover, as a maid's daughter, to the wealthy family in which she grew up in order to solve the murder of an heiress, who was once her closest friend. Liz Heldens (Friday Night Lights, Prime Suspect … the US version) will write the screenplay and serve as co-executive producer.
