Ahead of tomorrow's schedule announcement, NBC has handed out three series orders to drama Lincoln - an adaptation of the Bone Collector novels - as well as comedies Perfect Harmony and Indebted.
Lincoln - Inspired by the book The Bone Collector, former NYPD detective and forensic genius Lincoln Rhyme was at the top of his game until a serious accident at the hands of a notorious serial killer forces him out of the field. When Amelia Sachs, an intuitive young officer who's got her own gift for profiling finds herself hot on the killer's trail, Rhyme in turn finds a partner for this new game of cat and mouse. As the unlikely detective duo joins forces to crack the city's most confounding cases, they must also race to take down the enigmatic "Bone Collector" who brought them together.
The drama stars Russell Hornsby, Arielle Kebbel, Tate Ellington, Courtney Grosbeck, Ramses Jimenez, Brooke Lyons, Roslyn Ruff, Brían F. O'Byrne and Michael Imperioli.

Perfect Harmony - When former Princeton music professor Arthur Cochran unexpectedly stumbles into choir practice at a small-town church, he finds a group of singers that are out of tune in more ways than one.
