ABC Orders Six More Pilots, Including One From Diablo Cody and Five Dramas

According to Variety, ABC has ordered six more pilots for the 2018-19 season, including a comedy called "Most Likely To" from Diablo Cody and five dramas.

"Most Likely To" will follow two former high school classmates who reunite as unlikely housemates, who used to be polar opposites. Cody has written and will executive produce the series. The pilot will be produced in association with Warner Bros. Television.

One drama, currently untitled, will explore the lives of five African-American sisters who are NYPD officers, juggling their jobs alongside their families.

"Whiskey Cavalier" will follow an FBI agent Will Chase (known by his codename "Whiskey Cavalier"), who is assigned to work with CIA operative Francesca "Frankie" Trowbridge (Codename: "Fiery Tribune"). The pair save the world while simultaneously dealing with friendship, romance, and office politics.

"The Fix" tells the story of a former prosecutor, Maya Travis, who leaves Los Angeles for rural Oregon after losing the biggest case of her life. Eight years later, the murderer strikes again, causing Travis to return to Los Angeles to confront him again.

"Safe Harbor" is another cop drama, that follows the lives of cops on and off the job, as we see them in emotional and occassionally humorous situations.

"Staties" follows NYPD detective Eliza Cortez who gets relocated to Oregon after making a high-profile mistake, and ends up paired with Oregon State Trooper Sam King.

Finally, "A Million Little Things" follows a group of friends who all feel stuck for different reasons, but when one of them dies unexpectedly, they all decide it's time to finally start living.
