Breaking: The CW back in business with 'Gilmore' girl Amy Sherman-Palladino

It’s not a Gilmore Girls movie but it’s pretty much the next best thing: The CW has picked up an hour-long drama pilot from Gilmore creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and exec producer Dan Palladino.

Dubbed the Untitled Wyoming Project, the potential fall ’10 series is described as a family soap set on a horse farm in a small town in Midwest or Rockies.

It’s Gilmore Girls meets Little House on the Prairie!

In other pilot pickup news, The CW has also ordered Nikita, a contemporary update of (duh) La Femme Nikita. The logline: Nikita has gone rogue, and a new Nikita is being trained to replace her.

Thoughts?
