And no, we're not making these up; they are all are real pilots, with real budgets, reported as "in production" by The Hollywood Reporter.
Intelligence: A super agent in the newly created US Cyber Command has a chip embedded in his brain (micro, not potato) so he can access Facebook 24/7. And other useful databases.
NCIS: Red: Another NCIS spin-off, this time following a team of nomadic agents who travel about saving lives. Like The Littlest Hobo, but with guns.
Boomerang: The ups and downs of running a family business, except - wait for it - the family are all hitmen. Or women. Oh, you wacky homicidal maniacs!
The Hundred: It's the future. The earth is suitably post-apocalyptic and scorched. One hundred teenage petty criminals are sent in from space to see if it's time to reinhabit the planet. No, it's not a cartoon.
The Selection: It's a drama about a reality show in the future where women compete to win the hand of a real "Royal Prince". Think The Bachelor, if they could only get Prince Harry on board.
Gothica: A gothic drama weaving sexy (as yet unnamed) stars into the "real story" behind such classic horror stories as Dracula and Frankenstein. Because, you know, Dracula was real.
The Returned: The dead start reappearing in the lives of those who have been mourning them. Not as zombies or ghosts, they just show up "Hi, I'm back. Mum! Stop screaming!" style.
Beverly Hills Cop: The Series: Exactly what it says in the title. It even stars Eddie "OK, Let's Wring Some More Blood From This Stone" Murphy.
Blink: After a horrendous car crash, a man is left in a coma-like state where all he can do is watch those around him without responding. Hilarity ensues. No really, this is supposed to be a "dramedy".
Untitled: Star Wars saviour J.J. Abrams' latest effort - a buddy cop drama about police who are partnered with androids. Yep, androids.
Wild Blue: Possibly the best of the lot, this is described as "an Upstairs, Downstairs look" at life on a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. "Jeeves! Man the torpedoes!"
