May not be dead yet

From tvguide.com:

ABC has extended its option on the cast members of Secrets of a Small Town, a pilot that, despite much buzz, wasn't picked up for the fall season. What's more, a source tells TVGuide.com that some top Alphabet execs remain "truly invested" in the mystery-sudser (starring Denise Richards, Sean Patrick Flanery and Angie Harmon), meaning that Small Town may just be visited after all. Similarly, ABC has extended its options for October Road (which could hit the air as early as mid-season) and Dylan McDermott's A House Divided, while Fox has done the same with Faceless (a drama about hostage negotiators), The 12th Man and four of the stars of The Adventures of Big Handsome Guy and His Little Friend.
