In addition, the network has ordered a pilot for Doomsday, a drama from CSI producer Carol Mendelsohn and Justified writers Mark Bianculli and VJ Boyd. The thriller tells the tale of a government think tank comprised of the most creative minds in science and entertainment who are tasked with thinking up man-made disasters and their possible solutions in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Does The Good Doctor sound like the perfect project for House vet Shore?
