SECRET SIX Series From SCRUBS Creator Bill Lawrence In The Works At CBS
It looks like another DC Comics series may be on its way to your small screen in the not-so-distant future as CBS has given a pilot production commitment to a show based on the The Secret Six.
Variety is reporting that CBS has given a pilot production commitment to a DC Comics series based on The Secret Six, which currently has Rick Muirragui (Suits), Bill Lawrence (Scrubs), and Jeff Ingold (Whiskey Cavalier) attached as executive producers alongside Warner Bros. TV.
Muirragui penned the pilot episode and the logline sounds pretty faithful to the source material: "Secret Six centers on six morally ambiguous strangers, each with their own unique specialties and secret pasts, who are brought together by an enigmatic figure who blackmails them into working as a team to expose the corruption of the corporate and political elite."
For those unfamiliar, the Secret Six is a name shared by three different teams in the DC Comics Universe (as well as a fourth in an alternate universe). Each incarnation of the team unsurprisingly has six members, led by a mysterious figurehead, who goes by the alias Mockingbird. Each member of the six typically assumes Mockingbird is one of the other five members of the squad, which tends leads to a lot of tension and distrust.
