While trying to find out the answer to a question thread by E (thread cross-promotion!), I thought, hm, maybe it'd be useful for us to have a TV news thread to help decrease the postage bulk of the All About TV Shows thread.
So here it is, a TV news thread for all of us. Please keep it spoiler-free or at least minimize spoilers by leaving references to plot resolutions as cryptic as possible.
NBC has recently greenlit "Kings," a contemporary soap loosely based on the story of King David, the Biblical king of Israel. Francis Lawrence, the director of Constantine and I Am Legend is set to direct a one-hour pilot based on a script by Michael Green (Heroes co-executive producer).

"It's a Cinderella story and a story of struggle for power."
"Kings" stems from an idea Green had carried for a long time: "To retell these sort of sex- and war-crazed Bible stories for a world that's convinced the Bible is all about virtue," he said.
