Jerry Bruckheimer's drama "Trooper" has been given the go-ahead for a pilot by CBS, an individual familiar with the order confirms to TheWrap.
The project, written by "Heroes" scribe Aron Eli Coleite, will chronicle the adventures of a common-sense mother who turns New York State trooper. Bruckheimer and Coleite are executive-producing, along with Jonathan Littman ("CSI"; "The Amazing Race"). KristieAnne Reed will serve as co-executive producer, as she does on Bruckheimer's ABC reality series "Take the Money and Run." Jerry Bruckheimer Television and Warner Bros. Television are producing.
"Trooper" joins the Sherlock Holmes revamp "Elementary," the legal drama "Baby Big Shot" and an as-yet-untitled comedy from "Muppets" writer Nick Stoller as recent pilot acquisitions by CBS.
