I wouldn’t go as far as saying that it’s a sure thing just yet but things are looking pretty damn good so far. Let’s all hope for the best and be sure to check back here on Sunday and Monday. I’ll try to get some first pics of The Cape as fast as possible.

Overall, The Cape looks like the strongest bet for a drama series pickup at NBC, possibly for midseason because of the special effects involved.

One day less to wait for what will hopefully be good news.

THR: You air your genre shows on Mondays. Do you think that will continue next season with “Event”?

Bromstad: We have another genre piece in contention, and we have “Chuck.” We’re going to hash out the schedule over the next week.

THR: The other genre show you’re referring to is “The Cape.” I heard that came in strong, too.

Bromstad: It looks fantastic. We just saw it with special effects today. It’s closed-ended, and the hero catches the bad guy every week. Decisions are still outstanding, though, because we haven’t gotten back our testing yet.

The Cape, a pilot for NBC, is allegedly one of the more [sic] expensive ever made and thus very likely to air as a series. It’s about a framed-for-murder ex-cop (David Lyons) who becomes a “costumed crime fighter to clear his name.” His exploits are chronicled by a blogger, played by one Summer Glau, one of the most famous young women in the sci-fi geek world – from Firefly, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Dollhouse.
