Conan O'Brien's production company has landed a pilot at NBC about a man who gets a second shot at life, Variety reported. CBS, meanwhile, picked up what it called an Indiana Jones-type drama pilot.

O'Brien's Conaco, along with NBC Universal TV Studio, is behind an as-yet-untitled hourlong drama, formerly titled The Haskett Chronicles, from writer Willie Reale (Keen Eddie).

The potential series revolves around a politician who is murdered but is given a chance to come back to the physical world in order to save his soul. This time, he's at a much lower stage in life.

Reale scored two Tony Award nominations in 2003 for A Year With Frog and Toad. He will executive-produce with O'Brien, Jeff Ross, A.J. Morewitz and David Kissinger, the trade paper reported. NBC and NBC Universal TV Studio are both owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.

CBS, meanwhile, ordered the pilot Under Pressure, which centers on a "modern-day Indiana Jones" who takes on mysteries from the past and the present.
