ABC has greenlit Boundaries, a one-hour comedy pilot from director/producer J.J. Abrams, to be written by Grey's Anatomy writer-producer Jill Soloway, who will also produce. The show is about a failing cable access psychologist who rediscovers her true purpose when she is forced to take a job as a mobile notary. It is the first major broadcast project to stem from Abrams' six-year deal, signed in 2006, between his Bad Robot and Warner Bros. TV. A previous pilot, medical drama The Anatomy of Hope, based on Jerome Groopman's book, went to HBO earlier this year. Abrams has worked extensively with ABC as executive producer of the series Lost, Alias, What About Brian, and Six Degrees. He is currently developing a new Star Trek movie for Paramount Pictures. Soloway, a former writer-producer for Six Feet Under, is working on ABC's Grey's Anatomy as a consulting producer. During her three-year stint on Six Feet, she earned three best drama series Emmy nominations as part of the show's producing team. (Hollywood Reporter)
