Pilot Season: CBS Orders Psychological Thriller From Homeland, CSI Executive Producers

British series Second Sight is getting a second launch — this time in the U.S.

CBS has ordered a pilot based on the series. The gothic psychological thriller follows a detective who is suddenly infected with an autoimmune virus that causes hallucinations that reflect his subconscious. He soon discovers that catching the killer depends on insight as much as eyesight.
