Fringe may be coming to an end next spring, but Fox’s relationship with the people who make it isn’t. The network has just beat out the competition to give a pilot production commitment to an untitled futuristic drama from Fringe co-creator J.J. Abrams and showrunner J.H. Wyman. Wyman will write the pilot, described as “an action-packed buddy cop show” involving robots, and also executive produce alongside Abrams and Bryan Burk. More after the jump.

Fox’s strategy of debuting freshman comedy New Girl online two weeks early paid off beautifully last fall, so it makes sense that they’d take a similar approach to this year’s crop of new shows. The first episodes of The Mindy Project and Ben & Kate have both hit the web this week, nearly a month in advance of their September 25 on-air premieres.
Created by and starring The Office alum Mindy Kaling, The Mindy Project follows a doctor trying to get her life back on track in her early 30s. Ben & Kate, meanwhile, stars Dakota Johnson and Nat Faxon (one-half of the Oscar-winning The Descendants screenwriting duo) as a pair of grown-up siblings who move in together. Along with New Girl and fellow returning series Raising Hope, The Mindy Project and Ben & Kate will comprise Fox’s new Tuesday night comedy block. Watch the new shows’ pilot episodes in their entirety after the jump.
