The broadcast networks traditionally order pilots during the first few months of the year. From there, it's a race to find the best actors, hire a crew, build sets and produce a show before May, when the upcoming fall schedules are announced. The field has always been crowded, but this spring, several cable networks and online retailer-turned-programmer Amazon are also developing new shows that they hope will go to series (cable networks typically produce pilots throughout the year, usually avoiding the spring).

Erica's inevitable demise will be the first parenting challenge for Charlotte and Cooper.

Then they're going to have a grieving child, and they're going to be grieving themselves, so it's a big challenge for them."
