CRUEL INTENTIONS (IMDb TV, New!) - Phoebe Fisher and Sara Goodman are the latest looking to bring the cult 1999 movie to the small screen, this time at IMDb TV: "In this new incarnation of the premise, which is rooted in the novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos, two ruthless step siblings will do anything to stay on top. In this case, of the Greek life hierarchy at an elite Washington, D.C. college. After a brutal hazing incident threatens the entire Panhellenic system, they'll do whatever's necessary to preserve their power and reputations - even seduce the daughter of the Vice President of the United States." Sony Pictures Television, Amazon Studios, Original Film and Iervolino & Lady Bacardi Entertainment are behind the project with Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Andrea Iervolino, Monica Bacardi and Bruce Mellon likewise executive producing.

LAST POLICE, THE (FOX) - Blu Hunt, Reno Wilson, Maximiliano Hernandez, Dawnn Lewis, Derek Phillips, Courtney Dietz and Troy Kotsur have been set as the principal cast of writer/director Kyle Killen's drama pilot, in which "as an asteroid races toward an apocalyptic collision with Earth, MacKenzie Ward (Hunt), a small-town police detective believes she's been chosen to save humanity, while her cynical partner David Duran (Wilson) can't decide what he'll enjoy more: her delusional failure, or the end of the world itself." Lewis portrays Chief Sharon Ward, while Phillips is Detective Reg Butler, Hernandez is Detective Alvaro Diaz, Dietz is Beth Hubbard and Kotsur is Gus Severnson. FOX Entertainment, 20th Television and Anonymous Content are all behind the project with Chapter Eleven's Killen, Scott Pennington and author Ben Winters executive producing. (Deadline.com)
