Just when you thought you wouldn't be hearing any news from NBC with regards to original scripted programming, they've announced the green-lighting of a new pilot called Day One. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Day comes to us from Jesse Alexander, former writer-producer of Heroes. Alexander, as you may remember, was fired alongside fellow writer/producer Jeph Loeb due to the declining ratings and quality that occurred during Heroes Volume 3: Villains.

Day One "chronicles the aftermath of a global event that devastates the world's infrastructures when a small band of survivors strive to rebuild society and unravel the mysteries of why the event took place and what the future has in store." It seems as though NBC is trying to get in on the serialized sci-fi success of Lost, and maybe even compete with ABC's upcoming futuristic shows Flash Forward and the remake of V.
