Brothers and Sisters

Summary:
Network: ABC
Release: Fall 2006
This one hour drama centers on the lives of a brother and sister who take over the family business after their father dies.

Cast and Crew:
This is one of the most talked about drama pilots for fall of 2006. Calista Flockhart, Rachel Griffiths, Ron Rifkin, Balthazar Getty, and Dave Annable star in this new show.

This marks Flockhart's first return to television since "Ally McBeal" that went off the air four years ago. She won a Golden Globe for that performance. Griffiths won a Golden Globe for her amazing work on HBO's "Six Feet Under". Ron Rifkin of course is best known for his role on ABC's "Alias" as is Balthazar Getty. Dave Annable was in the 2005 pilot season with "Reunion" which made its way to FOX for half a season.

The head writer/EP Jon Robin Baitz was a writer on "The West Wing" and "Alias". Also from the ABC spy drama is Ken Olin who will also serve as EP.

Our Take:
Everyone in the industry is pretty certain we will be seeing "Brothers and Sisters" in the Fall on ABC. The cast is stellar and the writers are top-notch. Better makings than this for a pilot are hard to find. We expect an early pickup for this show.
