Additionally, CBS has given pilot orders to Friends With Better Lives, a comedy about a group of thirtysomething friends who each think the other has it better. Dana Klein will write and executive-produce with Aaron Kaplan.

Also receiving a pilot order is Backstrom, a drama from Bones' Hart Hanson. It's based on the Swedish book series about an overweight, offensive, irascible detective as he tries, and fails, to change his self-destructive behavior. Hanson will write and executive-produce, alongside Leif G.W. Persson and Niclas Salomonsson.
