“Infamous” — When wealthy socialite and notorious party girl Vivian Bowers is found dead of an overdose, no one is really surprised because she’s been a tabloid fodder for years. FBI agent Will Moreno (Laz Alonso, “Avatar”) is convinced that the troubled girl’s death was a homicide and he gets help of Detective Joanna Locasto (Meagan Good, “Think Like a Man”). Twenty years ago she was Vivian’s best friend, having grown up in the Bowers’ home as daughter of the family housekeeper. Vivian’s family welcomes her back and Joanna quickly begins to uncover dark secrets and clues about why Vivian’s life was very much in danger. Also starring are Victor Garber (“Alias”), Tate Donovan (“Damages”), Katherine La Nasa (“Alfie”), Neil Jackson (“Quantum of Solace”) and Ella Rae Peck (“Gossip Girl”).  “Infamous” comes from executive producer/writer Liz Heldens (“Friday Night Lights”) and director Peter Horton (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Dirty Sexy Money).

“Hannibal” — Psychiatrist-turned-serial-killer, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, is coming to life on television for the first time. This new drama from Bryan Fuller (“Heroes”) is a prequel to “Silence of the Lambs” and tells the beginning of this incredible story. Will Graham (Hugh Dancy, “The Big C”) is a gifted criminal profiler who is on the hunt for a serial killer with the FBI. Graham’s unique way of thinking gives him the astonishing ability to empathize with anyone, even psychopaths. When Will stumbles on a serial killer whose mind is too complicated, Will enlists the help of Dr. Lecter, one of the premier psychiatric minds in the country. Armed with the uncanny expertise of the brilliant doctor, Will and Hannibal (known as a serial killer only to the audience) form a brilliant partnership and it seems there’s no villain they can’t catch. Martha De Laurentis (“Hannibal”), Sara Colleton (“Dexter”), Jesse Alexander (“Lost”), and Katie O’Connell serve as executive producers. The role of Lecter has not been cast yet.
