“Homeland” showrunner Howard Gordon is teaming with “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” showrunner for prospective new NBC series about deadly robots, according to a Deadline Hollywood exclusive.
Deadline describes the premise:
… a thriller soap set in a world much like ours, where human-looking robots are commonplace. After a routine homicide explodes into the first robot-on-human murder, the lead detective must solve the case and investigate a growing robot rebellion while dealing with the impact on his own fractured family.
Friedman will script the pilot under Gordon’s supervision.
Gordon’s non-"Homeland" credits include “The X-Files,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel,” “24” and this year’s NBC drama “Awake.”
Friedman’s other big credit was co-writing 2005’s “War of the Worlds” with David Koepp.
