Lost creator's spy show takes shape

'Lost' creator JJ Abrams has cast two of the lead roles in his new spy series, 'Undercovers'.

The Hollywood Reporter says that the show is a cross between 'Mr & Mrs Smith' and 'The Bourne Identity' and follows two spies who work together and are also husband and wife.

'Resident Evil: Afterlife' star Boris Kodjoe has been cast as the male lead, Steven Bloom; the role of his wife Samantha has yet to be cast.
