    LOS ANGELES (AP) --

    A comedy series starring Vanessa Hudgens and set in the DC Comics world is coming to NBC.

    The network said Wednesday it's ordered "Powerless" for the 2016-17 season.

    Hudgens plays Emily, an insurance adjuster who specializes in damage caused by superheroes. She becomes a hero herself after standing up to the big shots after an especially messy fight.

    NBC also is ordering "Trial & Error," described as by the network as a fish-out-of-water comedy. Nicholas D'Agosto plays a New York lawyer who takes on his first big case in a small Southern town.

    The cast includes Jayma Mays and Sherri Shepherd, with John Lithgow as the defendant.

    NBC and other broadcast networks are set to unveil their full new-season schedules for advertisers in New York City next week.

    ESPN, ABC and others aired the other two college games — Indiana-Notre Dame (13.4 million) on Friday night and Tennessee-Ohio State (14.3 million) on Saturday night. There were no competing NFL games.

    The overall average of 10.6 million viewers was higher than all but four college games this season.
