The three-year overall agreement will have Bad Robot continue to develop new TV projects to be produced in association with Warner Bros. with Abrams and Burk executive-producing. Bad Robot's current TV projects include CBS' Person of Interest, Fox's Fringe (now entering its final season) and the upcoming thriller Revolution on NBC.
