"Boardwalk Empire writer Margaret Nagle is developing a modern-day take on Sense and Sensibility for CBS. Nagle - who has scripted eight episodes of HBO&amp;#039;s gangster series - will rework Jane Austen&amp;#039;s famous novel as a medical drama, The Hollywood Reporter states. Currently untitled, the pilot will follow three sisters who work in the world of medicine and find their lives changed forever when their estranged father returns. Nagle - who started out as an actress on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and My So-Called Life - will write and executive produce for CBS and Warner Bros Television. A number of other contemporary updates of classic tales are in development this pilot season - both ABC and The CW are working on new versions of Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations, while The CW and NBC each have an Alice in Wonderland series in the works. In addition, Fox and The CW are developing rival takes on a new Sleepy Hollow adaptation. &amp;gt; Homeland showrunners sell new FBI drama pilot to CBS &amp;gt; Nerds in Love for CBS: &amp;#039;It&amp;#039;s Big Bang Theory meets 2 Broke Girls&amp;#039; Watch a trailer for the BBC&amp;#039;s 2005 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
