Scott Bakula won’t be (quantum) leaping his way back onto NBC’s primetime lineup: The network has passed on Bakula’s ranch drama Unbroken, TVLine has learned.
The Yellowstone-esque drama was to have starred Bakula (NCIS: New Orleans, Quantum Leap) as retired rodeo champion and current rancher Ash Holleran in a story about “three dynastic ranch families on the central coast of California [that] make love and war in a passionate struggle to survive, ultimately setting the stage for a group of fiercely determined young women to win big for all at the National Championship of Rodeo,” per the official synopsis.

Exclusive: Samantha Mathis and Norm Lewis and are set as series regulars opposite Matt Passmore and Floriana Lima in Blank Slate, NBC’s drama pilot from Dean Georgaris, John Fox, Davis Entertainment and Universal Television.
Created by Georgaris and Fox, written by Georgaris and to be directed by Richard Shepard, Blank Slate draws some parallels to Davis Entertainment’s long-running NBC series The Blacklist. In Blank Slate, Special Agent Alexander McCoy (Passmore) is a legend in law enforcement, the agent we all hope is out there, the agent we’d all like to be. The only issue is — he doesn’t actually exist. He’s a ghost, a phantom. So what happens when a man claiming to be Alexander McCoy walks through the door with all of his skills and knowledge but with an agenda nobody will see coming?
Mathis will play Dr. Sylvia Matthews, the team’s forensic psychologist.

NBC continues to plow ahead with pilot orders.
