NBC orders pilot 'Strange Calls'

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- NBC has ordered the pilot for the supernatural series "Strange Calls" for the 2015-2016 season.

The series will be an American version of the Australian show where a cop comes to a town and with the help of a night watchman, he realizes the town has a supernatural element. Shot on a single camera, it shows the cop dealing with the weird and comedic paranormal mishaps.

Blake McCormick, creator of Cougar Town, ordered the series and will work with Aaron Kaplan and Tracey Robertson.

ABC originally piloted the series last season but failed to cast and produce the show.

It marks the tenth pilot ordered by NBC for the season.
