NBC has ordered its first pilot for the 2014-15 television season.

According to Deadline, the network has greenlit David DiGilio's WARRIOR.

WARRIOR is "is set in a grounded, contemporary multicultural and sometimes magical milieu where a DAMAGED heroine works undercover with physical and spiritual guidance from a mysterious martial arts master to bring down an international crime lord. The premise makes Warrior, which was a late sale at the tail end of pitch season, a contender for NBC's Friday genre block anchored by Grimm."

Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald will executive produce.
