The Blacklist, from Sony Pictures Television, revolves around the world's most wanted criminal, who mysteriously turns himself in and offers to give up everyone he has ever worked with. His only condition is he will only work with a newly minted FBI agent with whom he seemingly has no connection.
John Fox and John Davis are on board to exec produce.
The Blacklist joins NBC other ordered drama pilots After Hours, Peter Berg's Bloodline, Katie Jacobs' I Am Victor and Jerry Bruckheimer's The Secret Lives of Husbands and Wives.
Bokenkamp will mark his small-screen writing debut with the project. He's repped by ICM Partners, Brian Lutz and Felker Toczek. Eisendrath, for his part, will return to TV after creating NBC's short-lived Outlaw and exec producing My Own Worst Enemy. He's with ICM and Greenberg Glusker.
