       NBC Orders Two More Drama Pilots:   
       'What the Dead Know' From Dick Wolf and a 'Puzzle Master' Adaptation   
       --------------------------------------------------------------------   
       It's raining pilot orders at NBC.   
      
       The network will take a chance on two new drama projects, titled   
       "Puzzled" and "What the Dead Know." This caps off a week in which   
       NBC announced six pilot orders for the 2026 season.   
      
       From "Charmed" and "Sleepy Hollow" writer Joey Falco, "Puzzled" is   
       based on the "Puzzle Master" books by Danielle Trussoni. "After   
       barely escaping a tragic fire, once promising college athlete Mike   
       Brink is transformed by a traumatic brain injury that gives him the   
       unique ability to see the world in an unexpected way and helps him   
       solve crimes with local police," according to the logline. Jordan   
       Cerf executive produces alongside Falco, and Trussoni is a producer.   
       The studio is Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio   
       Group.   
      
       Legendary "Law & Order" creator Dick Wolf serves as an executive   
       producer on the other pilot, "What the Dead Know," from Beth Rinehart   
       ("FBI: Most Wanted," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"). The series   
       is based on the memoir by former New York City medical examiner   
       Barbara Butcher. Per the logline: "Death Investigator Ava Ledger is   
       really good with dead bodies. It's the living that give her trouble."   
       The show follows Ava as she teams up with the NYPD to solve their   
       toughest cases. The executive producers include Tom Thayer, Peter   
       Jankowski and Anastasia Puglisi; Co-EPs are Kevin Plunkett, Rebecca   
       McGill and Butcher. Wolf Entertainment produces, and Universal   
       Television is the studio.
