J.J. Abrams apparently has time to develop a new sci-fi drama show

That’s according to The Hollywood Reporter, which says Abrams is shopping around a script for a sci-fi drama about a family that gets transported to “another land” and joins in on some other world’s “battle against a monstrous, oppressive force.” THR says the story involves space and mysterious science experiments, which are both right in Abrams’ wheelhouse, so hopefully he’ll also make room for a weird island and a disastrous haircut to really cover all of his favorite TV plot devices.

Apple and HBO are both reportedly interested in the still-untitled show, and Abrams will even stick around to write it if somebody picks up it up.
