ABC orders pilots about safety deposit boxes and Toni Collette-led CIA agents
According to TV Line, ABC has just ordered a pair of pilots that should scratch a very specific itch for people who wish TV had more shows about government-backed engineers solving mysteries and completing secret missions. The first show is an “action-dramedy” called Unit Zero, and it comes from Trophy Wife writer Lindsey Shockley. The pilot stars Toni Collette as an “unassuming CIA engineer/single mom” who makes a team of “desk jockeys” into covert field agents. Apparently, the fact that nobody cares about them at the CIA office makes them perfect for secret missions, which is relatively sound logic.
