Execs are currently screening pilots in Gotham. It's understood that the pay cabler has passed on "End of Steve," dark comedy produced by and starring Matthew Perry, and "The Farm," an "L Word" spinoff from producer Ilene Chaiken.
Sources said the network is making its series picks from a total of four completed pilots. Showtime is expected to pick up one or two new series for this year.
