undercovers-nbc-preview.jpgNBC has the new J.J. Abrams ("Lost," "Alias") show on its fall schedule -- "Undercovers," an action spy thriller starring Boris Kodjoe ("Soul Food"), Gugu Mbatha-Raw ("Doctor Who"), Gerald McRaney ("Deadwood," "Jericho"), Jessica Parker Kennedy ("Valemont"), Carter MacIntyre ("American Heiress") and Ben Schwartz ("Mayne Street").

"Undercovers" follows the adventures of a retired husband and wife team suddenly thrust back into their former lives as CIA agents. The couple are Steven and Samantha Bloom, played by Kodjoe and Mbatha-Raw.

Joining J.J. Abrams as executive producers are Josh Reims ("Brothers & Sisters," "Dirty Sexy Money") and Bryan Burk, who has collaborated with Abrams on "Lost," "Alias" and the 2008 movie "Cloverfield."

Check out these sneak peeks below and let us know what you think. Is "Undercovers" going to be the first step on NBC getting its mojo back? "Undercovers" will air Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. ET in the fall according to the just-released NBC night-by-night schedule.

I give it three episodes.

Seems like a fun show, and there is certainly an opening at the wed at 8 slot. I think it may be a nice addition to NBC's lineup but I'm expecting more Fringe-like ratings than Lost-like after the first 6 episodes or so.

I think it has potential but I wish the music wasn't so similar to Alias and Lost.

Bad acting....especially Boris Kodjoe. I give it three episodes as well.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw might just be the next Jennifer Garner

Oh it looks fun and entertaining.. but NBC will probably cancel it after not giving it a chance. I'm still bitter about Journeyman.

Undercovers is looking to become one of my favorite new shows coming this fall. Hope NBC has a breakout series.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw may just be one of the most beautiful female leads in a while.

Don't think this is the best vehicle for her, wish her the best of luck regardless.
