On top of executive producing his "Undercovers" Warner Bros. pilot at NBC, J.J. Abrams is in talks to direct the opening episode.

Schedule permitting, Abrams will make "Undercovers" the first TV pilot he has directed since 2004's "Lost" rwo-part opener which is considered one of the best-directed pilots of all time. This aided in skyrocketing Abrams' career to directing roles like "Mission: Impossible 3" and the recent blockbuster "Star Trek."

Abrams served as producer for various TV shows including "Fringe" and also directed an episode of "The Office" in 2007.
