"JJ Abrams and Eric Kripke&amp;#039;s Revolution has been picked up to series by NBC, according to reports. The Peacock Network has commissioned the high-concept pilot, according to Deadline, with Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy and Ali Adler&amp;#039;s single-camera comedy The New Normal also ordered to series.   Starring Twilight actor Billy Burke, Revolution is an action thriller set in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist. The pilot cast also included Giancarlo Esposito, Ringer&amp;#039;s Andrea Roth, former ER actor David Lyons and Zak Orth (Fringe, 30 Rock). The New Normal follows a gay couple as they decide to start a family, and stars Justin Bartha (The Hangover), One Day&amp;#039;s Georgia King and Andrew Rannells from Tony Award-winning musical The Book of Mormon. It has been tipped for an early launch in August following the London Olympics. Anne Heche comedy Save Me - also linked with an August premiere date - was picked up earlier today. Matthew Perry&amp;#039;s new sports comedy project Go On was granted a series order by NBC last month. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
