There are a number of new pilot projects making news in the US at the moment, but here’s one worth taking notice of.
Ronald D. Moore, who brilliantly reimagined Battlestar Galactica, now has a new project.
NBC just picked up his pilot with the working title of 17th Precinct, described as “Harry Potter for grown-ups.”
An ensemble police drama set in the fictional town of Excelsior, it takes place in a world ruled by magic instead of science.
Moore also has The McCulloch in development, about the men and women of a fictional Coast Guard cutter as they travel around the world.

I always thought BSG was a show for nerds, then I watched it and it was actually really good! All four seasons kept me hooked.
I’ll be sure to check this out.
@ Andrew I don’t think Ron has ever been connected to Blood and Chrome ony David Eike, which is also a bit of a concern.
Why does a Coast Guard cutter need to travel around the world? Is it solving one sexy crime after another?
Grunge Magi-Fi, hopefully!
@RoD, yeah I’m picturing a cross between ‘Top 10’ and the Vertigo series ‘Fable’s’ (which itself is/was something of a ‘Top 10’ ripoff only with fantasy type characters sharing the same reality).
what happened to battlestar blood and chrome?!
I’ll give it a shot. BSG was so sharp in its writing (with the exception of The Plan, but everyone hit’s a bum note once in a while).
@ RoD … Wow … I think you hit the nail on the head with that comparison …
“17th Precinct” also sound a lot like “Merlin” meets “Legend Of The Seeker” (which was fantactic for the two years it lasted.)
I hope it is not going to be more “Grunge Sci-Fi” like Battlestar …
Oohh… sounds a bit like a rip-off (sorry – re-imagining) of Alan Moore’s graphic novel ‘Top 10’ set in the police station of Precinct 10 – on a world where everyone has superpowers.
