CDC-set medical pilot will be produced by Smith and Pinkett Smith

"Smith," the series, may be dead, but that doesn't mean CBS can't seek out a new show from Smith, Will.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS has given a put pilot commitment to a medical drama from Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. The show, set at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will be produced through Smith's Overbrook Entertainment shingle and CBS Paramount Network TV.

Smith and Pinkett Smith came up with the initial premise and will produce the series along with Jan Nash and Jennifer Levin ("Without a Trace"). Naturally, the show will revolve around a group of CDC docs who fight all manner of terrifying infectious diseases.

The first series effort for Overbrook was "All of Us," which recently moved from UPN to The CW for its fourth season.
