Fox picks fall dramas: Greg Kinnear, Terry O'Quinn series greenlit

The great pilot-to-series deluge of 2013 has begun. Fox just made its drama orders for next season, and the list includes the J.J. Abrams-produced robot cops project (now titled Almost Human) starring Star Trek actor Karl Urban and the House-as-defense-attorney drama Rake, starring Greg Kinnear (As Good As It Gets).

Also getting spots on the schedule: San Francisco crime drama Gang Related, which returns fan-favorite Terry O'Quinn (Lost) to prime-time in a supporting role, and a new take on the classic short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, starring relative newcomer Tom Mison. All four dramas contain a mix of procedural and serialized storytelling (Gang Related and Sleepy Hollow are a bit more serialized, while Almost Human and Rake lean more toward case-of-the-week). More obviously, half the titles are set in contemporary times, the other two are set in the future or past.

One buzzworthy Fox pilot that's not getting picked up is the network's adaptation of sci-fi novel Delirium, starring Emma Roberts. For a full list of broadcast pilots, including which ones have been greenlit so far and which ones are confirmed dead, go here.

Below are Fox's confirmed drama series orders with the latest network-provided descriptions. The network's comedy orders are here.

ALMOST HUMAN (working title)

From Emmy Award-winning executive producer J.J. Abrams and creator/executive producer J.H. Wyman and starring Karl Urban, Michael Ealy and Emmy Award nominee Lili Taylor, ALMOST HUMAN (working title) is an action-packed police drama set 35 years in the future, when police officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids. An unlikely connection is forged when a cop with an aversion to robots and a robot with unexpected emotional responses investigate cases in a brave new world.

GANG RELATED

GANG RELATED, a gritty new action drama, follows Ryan Lopez (Ramon Rodriguez), a rising star in Los Angeles' elite Gang Task Force – led by SAM CHAPEL (Emmy Award winner Terry O'Quinn) — who teams up with longtime Task Force member CASSIUS GREEN (RZA) to take on three of the city's most dangerous gangs, including one he has ties to.

RAKE

Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Greg Kinnear makes his broadcast television series debut with the bold new legal drama RAKE, from executive producer Peter Tolan and creator/executive producer Peter Duncan, who created the hit Australian series of the same name. RAKE centers on Keegan Deane, one of life's great addicts, a brilliant and frustratingly charming criminal defense attorney, whose chaotic and self-destructive personal life often gets in the way of his professional one. He takes on the cases that nobody else will touch, ruled by a resolute optimism, belief in justice and dogged determination to defend those who seem beyond redemption – much like himself.

SLEEPY HOLLOW

From co-creators/executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (the "Star Trek" and "Transformers" franchises, "Fringe"), the thrilling new action-adventure SLEEPY HOLLOW is a modern-day retelling of Washington Irving's classic. ICHABOD CRANE (Tom Mison) is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to find that the world is on the brink of destruction and that he is humanity's last hope, forcing him to team up with a contemporary police officer (Nicole Beharie) to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers.
