NBC orders three more dramas: 'The Playboy Club,' 'Awake,' 'Grimm'

NBC will soon be playing cops and bunnies.

Sources close to the network confirmed three pilot pickups: “The Playboy Club,” a 1960s-set drama about working-class bunnies; “Awake,” a procedural hybrid from “Lone Star” creator Kyle Killen about a detective grappling with his broken family after a car crash; and “Grimm,” a cop drama with fantasy elements.

That's in addition to the network's four pickups announced Wednesday, which included "Prime Suspect" and "Smash."
