CBS has picked up two SF pilots: Babylon Fields, an hourlong zombie-themed comedy-drama, and Twilight, a drama about a vampire private eye who's dealing with the fallout from being immortal, Variety reported.

Gerald Cuesta and Michael Atkinson wrote the pilot for Babylon Fields and will serve as supervising producers. CBS described the pilot as a "sardonic, apocalyptic American comedy-drama where the dead are rising and, as a result, lives are regained, families restored and old wounds reopened." Michael Cuesta, who directed the pilot for Showtime's Dexter, will executive-produce and helm via 20th Century Fox Television.

In Twilight, the central character contends with foes in the vampire world and a budding love for a mortal. Joel Silver is executive-producing via Warner Brothers TV. Trevor Munson (Lone Star State of Mind) and Ron Koslow (Beauty and the Beast) wrote the script and will executive-produce.
