E! Entertainment developing a brand-new romantic, supernatural TV drama about a dead entertainment lawyer in New York looking for love.

E! Entertainment (DStv 124) is developing yet another brand-new scripted TV show - a romantic, supernatural drama which is a cross between Drop Dead Diva and A Gifted Man.

In the new as-yet-untitled drama, a young entertainment lawyer dies but is determined to pursue a romantic relationship with a woman's who's still alive - while he exists in limbo in New York City and works for the department that judges those who have just died.

The new drama series for E! Entertainment will be produced by Universal Cable Productions.

The new drama follows the raft of new programming E! Entertainment announced in May this year which will become new TV dramas and sitcoms on the channel from 2013, such as Anne of Hollywood, Dorothy, The 400, Juror#9, an untitled drama about executive assistants, Anne Devlin Mysteries, the detective procedural Fascination Street and Upstarts.

It's a priority for E! Entertainment to improve the general entertainment channel's programming and scheduling line-up after the merger between Comcast and NBCUniversal.
