"NBC is developing a remake of UK drama series Bad Girls. The original show aired on ITV from 1999 to 2006 and followed the inmates and officers in a women&amp;#039;s prison. Debra Stephenson, Jack Ellis and Linda Henry were among the actors to appear on the show, which ended after eight series. A US adaptation, from Shameless showrunner John Wells, has now been picked up to pilot, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Wells will executive produce alongside Andrew Stearn and Nancy Pimental, as well as a team of British producers from Shed Media. FX previously developed a US remake of Bad Girls in 2006, but the project was later abandoned. An HBO adaptation, with creative input from True Blood&amp;#039;s Alan Ball, was also scrapped in 2008. In addition to the Bad Girls remake, Wells has also sold a pilot to Fox for the 2012-13 television season. Prodigy Bully - written by Glee actor Mike O&amp;#039;Malley - focuses on a young boy genius who uses his brains and brawn to manipulate others. &amp;gt; Jason Ritter show, Friday Night Dinner remake among NBC pilot orders "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
