All three projects — Darwin's Blade, MSU: Motorcycle Specialty Unit, and Walkaways — hail from Universal Television, where Chris Morgan Prods. is under an overall deal, and are executive produced by Morgan and CMP Head of Development Ainsley Davies. They join a reboot of the 1980s action crime drama Miami Vice, also set up at NBC, which Morgan executive produces alongside Vin Diesel.

Darwin's Blade is being co-written by Morgan and Duane Swierczynski. It centers on Darwin "Dar" Minor, a brilliant yet arrogant accident-reconstruction specialist who consults police on the bizarre cases no one else can solve.
MSU is described as a high-octane police drama that follows an elite unit of LAPD motor cops on their dangerous assignments. The team navigates their relationships and the city with humor and Fast & Furious-style action.
Walkaways, written and executive produced by Chicago Fire executive producers Andrea Newman and Michael Gilvary, revolves around two disgraced NYC police detectives — an overachieving, hard-charging young woman and a brilliant but broken-down veteran — who are paired up and given one last chance to redeem themselves by solving the department's toughest and most radioactive "walkaway" cases.
