The new Disney Channel Series, "Star Wars: The Mandalorian" is something of a surprise hit to me.
Well written story, decent character development, and the kind of intense action packed special effects Star Wars is know for.
Oh... and if that wasn't enough, anyone here think the Yoda species baby isn't adorable?

NBC Orders DEBRIS, a Series About Destroyed Alien Spacecraft
by Eric Diaz
Jan 14 2020
It looks like we might have a new X-Files-type series for the 21st century to capture our imaginations. Variety is reporting that NBC has ordered the drama pilot called Debris for the 2020-2021 season. This new series follows two agents from two different continents, and two different mindsets. They must work together to investigate when wreckage from a destroyed alien spacecraft begins to have mysterious effects on humankind.
The series is coming to us from writer and executive producer Joel Wyman and executive producer Jason Hoffs. Legendary Television will producers.
Many Sci-fi fans will know Joel Wyman from his work on shows such as Fringe and Almost Human.
Supposed UFO crashes and alien debris have fascinated us all since a little incident in Roswell, New Mexico back in 1947 that you might have heard about. The media quickly debunked that incident as a hoax. However, decades later people involved in the finding of supposed alien debris there came forward to tell their story. More and more people from the small military town began to tell of their personal experiences, and the Roswell incident became an urban legend. Add to that the huge rash of UFO sightings in the 1950s and onward; many of us became convinced that the government was hiding something of extraordinary significance from the public.

I'm not seeing much in the way of pre-publicity.
Did come across this tidbit:
Wyman is perhaps best known for his work as showrunner, director, and writer for the 2008 TV show Fringe, which was also a science fiction series. Variety reports that NBC ordered the Debris pilot for the 2020 – 2021 television season, meaning we won’t see it until later this year.
I'll be keeping an eye out for production stills and promotional video trailers. Good find epo333, Sounds promising.
We all know how big networks like NBC operate; I'm guessing we are looking at a Fall 2020 series premier for DEBRIS.
