The networks are gearing up to announce their fall schedules next week at the upfronts, but this week we’re starting to learn which pilots have been picked up to series.  We saw Fox’s orders last night, and here’s a look at some of the series moving ahead at NBC:

• Believe – Kyle MacLachlan, Johnny Sequoyah, and Delroy Lindo star in this supernatural drama series that follows the unlikely friendship between a gifted young girl and a man recently released from prison.  Alfonso Cuaron, J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk, and Mark Friedman will executive produce, and Cuaron directed the pilot.
• Crisis – Gillian Anderson, Dermot Mulroney, and Rachel Taylor star in this drama series about Washington’s government being pulled into an international conspiracy.  Rand Ravich and Far Shariat (Life) will executive produce.  Phillip Noyce directed the pilot.
• About a Boy – David Walton, Minnie Driver, and Al Madrigal star in this comedy series adaptation of the Nick Hornby book and subsequent 2002 film.  Jason Katims (Parenthood, Friday Night Lights) will executive produce, and Jon Favreau directed the pilot.
• Sean Saves the World – Sean Hayes, Linda Lavin, and Thomas Lennon star in this multi-camera sitcom about a man trying to parent his teenage daughter and appease his boss.  Victor Fresco (Better Off Ted) and Todd Milliner (Hot in Cleveland) will executive produce.

Hit the jump for news regarding the other two comedy pilots order to series, as well as full synopses for all six shows.

Opening this weekend is the Jennifer Lopez & Alex O’Loughlin romantic comedy The Back-up Plan.   To help promote the film, I recently got to interview the two stars as a reporter for our partners at Omelete.  While I wasn’t sure what to expect when I sat down to do the interview, I’ll admit it turned out a lot better than I expected.  Also, the interview featured a lot of laughter.  Perhaps it was due to the questions I asked from the people that follow me on Twitter.  But more than likely, it was a combo between the questions and good luck.  Trust me, JLo was a lot funnier than I expected and I promise she’ll make you laugh as you watch.  We even talked about Anaconda.  I couldn’t believe it.  Hit the jump for the interview and more on The Back-up Plan:
