J.J. Abrams' top-secret Alcatraz project has found a home at Fox.

The network has given a pilot commitment to Abrams' latest mysterious TV endeavor, whose official logline is as cryptic as one might expect: "A show about mysteries, secrets and the most infamous prison of all time: Alcatraz."

Abrams is reteaming with veterans from his other island-based show, "Lost" -- Elizabeth Sarnoff is the lead writer and joins Abrams as an executive producer, and Bryan Burk is an executive producer. Co-executive producers and writers include Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt.

If greenlighted, the project will join Abrams' "Fringe" on the network. Abrams is also shopping a crime thriller with "Inception" director Jonathan Nolan.

Abrams' Bad Robot produces the show in association with Warner Bros.

<span style="font-size:120%;">J.J. Abrams' newest project has landed at NBC.

Ahead of its "Undercovers" premiere Wednesday, the network has made a pilot commitment to a new series starring "Lost" actors Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn, New York Magazine's Vulture reports.

According to the report, there was heavy interest from rival broadcast networks.

Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec will be writing and executive producing, while Abrams and Bryan Burk will also serve as exec producers.

Details on the series have not yet been released, though it was reported that the pair would be playing ex-black-ops agents.

Emerson confirmed to THR in an interview that he and O'Quinn were shopping around ideas for a new television series earlier this year.

"It's real. Real people and real writers are batting it around," he said in late August.

This marks NBC's second Abrams project.

CBS has given a pilot pickup to J.J. Abrams' crime drama Person of Interest, written by The Dark Knight co-writer Jonah Nolan.

The project, from Warner Bros. TV and Abrams' Bad Robot, centers on an ex-CIA hitman and a scientist who team up to prevent crimes before they happen.

Abrams and Nolan are executive producing with Bad Robot's Bryan Burk.

Nolan wrote Dark Knight with brother Christopher Nolan. He also is credited as a write on The Dark Knight Rises, due out next year.

Person of Interest is the second pilot order this season for Bad Robot following Fox's pickup of Alcatraz.
