Enterprise network UPN has ordered a further four pilots for projects currently in development.

These latest pilots follow on the heels of three drama pilots ordered just over a week ago (news), and consist of another three dramas and one comedy according to Hollywood Reporter (via Yahoo! News).

Horror mastermind Wes Craven is set to executive producer a genre pilot called Kamelot. The story is retelling of the classic King Arthur tale, but focuses on the legendary king leading a futuristic, Camelot-like society. It's not the first time that Craven has worked with UPN. Back in 2000, Craven produced a "Melrose Place-like "hip-hop soap opera" pilot (story). However, that was never picked up for a series.

Also on the drama front, are The Edge and Vegas Dick. The Edge is about two young FBI agents and a DEA agent who solve crimes in a Mexican border beach town. It's being written by Matthew Carnahan who writes for and co-executive produces Fox's Fastlane. Vegas Dick is about a former con artst who starts working as an in-house detective for a Las Vegas Casino. It's been penned by Rich Wilkes, who has written both 'xXx' and its upcoming sequel 'xXx2'.

On the comedy front, American Pie II co-writer David H. Steinberg is developing a sitcom Tentatively titled Your Honor. The pilot, apparantly based upon Steinberg's own experiences, tells the story of a 25-year-old law school graduate who "accidentally finds himself elected to serve as a judge in a small town".

Although many pilots are commissioned each year, only a handful ever make it to the series stage. If UPN greenlights any of these concepts to proceed to series, they will likely debut in fall 2003.
