LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - TNT has given the green light to "Night and Day," a drama pilot from "24" co-creator Joel Surnow and Todd Robinson.

The fast-paced, gritty drama about the life of an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms marks Surnow's first series project since he departed "24" in February after seven years.

"Night and Day" was one of six drama projects on TNT's development slate announced in May.

On the feature side, Surnow has romantic comedy "That Face" in the works at Morgan Creek Prods. and Universal Pictures.

Robinson, whose feature credits include "Lonely Hearts" and "White Squall," recently wrote and directed "The Last Full Measure," which stars Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis and Laurence Fishburne.
