Pilot order for medical series The Hurt Unit at ABC

ABC is taking a ride with the Hospital Urgent Response Team. The network has ordered a pilot for the medical drama The Hurt Unit. The project comes from Promised Land creator Matt Lopez and former SEAL Team showrunner John Glenn with Marc Webb helming the pilot.

The Hurt Unit follows a highly skilled team of trauma surgeons and nurses who race into the field to treat the patients who won’t make it to the hospital in time. When the sick and the injured can’t get to the ER, the Hurt brings the ER to them.

Matt Lopez and John Glenn have previously worked together on several projects, including NBC's Dreamer and ABC's Caesar.

It is the latest ABC pilot order this month; the Disney-owned network ordered a pilot for the legal soap Judgement from former Charmed (2018) showrunner Joey Falco, and one for a remake of the French series HIP from Drew Goddard (Daredevil).

It comes as ABC has refreshed its plans to introduce clear first- and second-cycle development routes for shows to air in the fall and midseason as the industry comes out of the pandemic. Essentially, its first-cycle development is looking for shows for fall, and its second cycle is searching for midseason series.
