Fox has ordered a pilot for medical drama The Beast.

The show is being produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television and Neal Baer’s Baer Bones.

In each episode, a doctor with his own clinical fear of death faces three challenging medical cases. Two will live one will die, but the doctor never stops fighting the odds, Fox says.
