CBS宣布预订《傲骨贤妻 The Good Wife》的主创Robert及Michelle King负责的超自然题材试映集《邪恶 Evil》,剧中会描述科学及宗教之间的斗争。《邪恶》讲述抱怀疑论的女临床心理学家Kristen Benoist(Katja Herbers饰 演),她与一名受训中的牧师及一名蓝领承包商组成团体,他们会共同调查一些奇迹﹑附魔或其他超自然事件究竟能否用科学解释,还是真正的超自然现象。
《卢克·凯奇 Marvel's Luke Cage》主角Mike Colter饰演被教会指派调查超自然现象是否有科学根据的David Acosta牧师﹑Aasif Mandvi饰演蓝领阶级的木匠Ben,最早被David招募的超自然事件怀疑论者;他本人是个揭穿「闹鬼」事件背后真相的人才,不过在剧中发生的事将动摇他的信念。
《疑犯追踪 Person of Interest》的Michael Emerson饰演Townsend,一个外表风度翩翩﹑看似值得信赖的好人,但其实作为一宗大型凶案的辩护方专家证人的他,可能是黑暗一方的追随者。
Robert及Michelle King过去亦曾为CBS制作了剧集《吃脑外星人 BrainDead》,不过此剧因收视低迷一季被砍。

Learning how to survive on an increasingly crowded planet is probably our ultimate challenge. But there is one place, home to over a sixth of the world's population, which is already making a good shot at adapting: welcome to India. This observational series casts aside the usual preconceptions about the sub-continent, and lets a few of India's 1.2 billion show how their world really works.
With astonishing access into the densest districts of Kolkata and Mumbai, it celebrates the impressive resourcefulness, resilience and absolute pragmatism of those living and working there, and reveals the psyche needed to get ahead in the biggest of crowds.
Part 1.
This episode follows two main characters as they employ all their ingenuity to carve out a home. With more people moving to cities in India than anywhere else on earth, securing that place you can call home is vital for nurturing your family's future.
Part 2.
Johora started out as a rag-picker, but through building a bottle recycling business on a railway embankment, she has big ambitions for her family of seven kids. And it is not just small waste. Kanye uses a blowtorch to cut up ships discarded by the rest of the world, helping satisfy India's thirst for steel. And Ashik buys up beef fat from the abattoir, and proudly renders it down to make tallow. It looks disgusting, even before he is plagued by a maggot infestation. But this thrifty use of 'waste' may well be destined for your soap or cosmetics.
Part 3.

But his family make it clear his sole purpose is to earn enough to fund in their joint future: his brother Mangesh's course in software engineering. Swapan, a merchant in a hectic fish market, works so hard for his family's future that his wife knows he is ruining his health. And Sujit, who crafts disposable clay tea cups in Kolkata, hardly dares dream of seeing his family hundreds of miles away.
