Not much information but sounds promising...

Full-Blown Sci-fi "Returns" to ABC
September 5, 2008 by Sam Sloan   

Of all the U.S. networks, ABC is the one offering up the least amount of sci-fi fare this fall. Of course, its Emmy award-winning series "Lost" will be returning, as well as the two surprise hits from last season, "Pushing Daisies" and "Eli Stone," but not much new, as far as good ole' alien-UFO styled programing, was coming from the alphabet network...until now.

Perhaps seeing the handwriting on the wall, scribes Greg Berlanti and Rene Echevarria have been commissioned by ABC execs to develop a new sci-fi project titled "The Return."

The series will center on the huge impact the world must face when humandkind finally must face the reality that we are truly not alone in the universe after aliens land on planet Earth, ala "The Day the Earth Stood Still." With that particular film being remade for theaters, this new television show should be timely.

The series should be in capable hands as Berlanti is behind "Eli Stone" and Echevarria is well seasoned in the genre having served as one of the main writers from the world of "Star Trek," "The 4400," "Medium," "Now and Again" and "Dark Angel."

Both writers will also act as the series executive producers.
