ABC is looking to expand its alien-centric television lineup beyond the science-fiction sitcom The Neighbors. The Hollywood Reporter says the network has commissioned a pilot script for an untitled drama “about a group of aliens out to destroy Earth"—but in a different way than V, since this time the aliens are “out to destroy the world by using Earth’s most precious resource: children.” There’s no indication of why children are such a precious resource, though perhaps it’s because their hands are small enough to complete repair work on alien ships, or maybe the alien race covets children like jewels.
