ABC is bulking up for next season. The network, who are now starting to make calls on renewals and cancellations, has picked up their pilots The Catch, The Muppets, Quantico, Untitled Pate & Fishburne Project (formerly known as Boom), Dr Ken, Wicked City, The Real O'Neals, Of Kings And Prophets and The Family to series. 
With only days before their Upfront presentation, Fox has handed out their first series orders. The network has picked up comedy pilot The Grinder, starring Rob Lowe; and procedural drama Rosewood to series. Perhaps unsurprisingly as these were the first orders for the network, both hail from sister studio 20th Century Fox Television. 
The CW has set their line-up for the 2015-2016 season by handing out series orders to three of their drama pilots. The three dramas to get the nod were the Arrow/The Flash team-up spin-off (now titled DC's Legends Of Tomorrow), Belgian adaptation Cordon and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (which was initally developed as a half-hour at premium cable network Showtime). 
After picking up three new dramas last week (Chicago Med, Blindspot and Heartbreakers), NBC has turned their attention to their comedy slate and picked up comedy pilots People Are Talking, Crowded and Superstore to series. 
It was always considered a shoo-in but now it's official: CBS has handed out a series order to Supergirl, making it their first official pick up for the 2015-2016 broadcast season. 
Syfy has handed out a series order to The Magicians, an hour-long adaptation of the Lev Grossman novel series of the same name from Universal Cable Productions and Aquarius creator John McNamara. The project, which landed a pilot order late last year, has received an order for 12 episodes. 
NBC is kicking things off a little early this year by handing out the first three series orders ahead of the Upfronts in a little over a week. The three projects to get the nod at the peacock are: Blind Spot from Arrow & The Flash executive producer Greg Berlanti; medical drama Heartbreaker; and Chicago Med, the latest entry in Dick Wolf's Chicago franchise, which already includes Chicago Fire and Chicago PD
