NBCs Prime Suspect Can get Order For Six More Scripts

NBC is strengthening its support for well-received but fighting new drama Prime Suspect getting a six-script order. It makes sense similar script pickup for sophomore dramedy Harry’s Law yesterday. Prime Suspect is NBC’s only new fall scripted series whose fate isn't determined. The network recently gave comedies Up With The Evening and Whitney full-season orders and canceled drama The Playboy Club and comedy Free Agents. This kind of script order allows producers to keep a occur continuous production once the network makes an episodic back order. Carrying out a slow start, Prime Suspect held steady last Thursday (1.5/4), when almost every other shows were lower. The cop drama starring Maria Bello will get additional sampling on Monday where its repeats transformed Playboy now.
