CBS will announce its fall schedule on Wednesday but it told producers of six shows Monday that the network will order their series for the new season.
Two medical dramas will be included. “Three Rivers” will star Julia Ormond (“Benjamin Button”) and Alex O’Loughlin (“Moonlight”) about a team of transplant surgeons. “Miami Trauma” will deal with the intense work of a trauma unit in South Florida; it stars Jeremy Northham (“The Tudors”).
A new legal drama, “The Good Wife,” will star Julianna Margulies of “E.R.” as a woman whose husband, a Chicago district attorney, is sent to prison, forcing her to go to work as a junior associate in a law firm to support her three children. Christine Baranski (“Cybill”) co-stars.
A fourth drama, the still-untitled spinoff of “NCIS,” had already been announced.
CBS will add one new comedy, “Accidentally on Purpose,” which stars Jenna Elfman (“Dharma and Greg”) as a woman in her 30s who becomes pregnant during a brief affair with a man 10 years younger and changes her life to raise the baby.
CBS’s sixth new entry will be a reality show called “Undercover Boss,” which will use hidden cameras to show what happens when the head of a big corporation goes undercover as an ordinary worker in his company.
