Telemystery: Network Prime Time Crime Pilots Ordered To Date

Telemystery: Mystery and Suspense on Television

Over the past few weeks we've posted on a somewhat irregular basis information about prime time crime — mystery, suspense, and thriller — pilots being ordered by the broadcast networks for the 2012/2013 television season … primarily choosing to feature those that interested us the most. Last weekend, we scoured the entertainment sites and came up with a more comprehensive list of pilots ordered to date, which we've listed below. We don't have any information on what percentage of pilots actually make it to series orders, though it's almost certainly less than half. The networks usually have their Fall schedules in place by May, so we should know more then about which of these pilots we may see as series later this year.
