TNT okayed a new untitled private-eye drama starring Jon Tenney (The Closer) and Rebecca Romijn (X-Men) and based on author David Baldacci’s characters Sean King and Michelle Maxwell.  TNT ordered 10 episodes of the series which will be produced by CBS Television Studios.  Shane Brennan wrote the pilot and will serve as EP with Grant Anderson; Karen Spiegel is a producer.  Balducci is a consultant on the series which is slated to premiere in summer 2013.  The drama also stars Michael O’Keefe as Rigby and Chris Butler as Carter along with Ryan Hurst as Edgar Roy.

ITV Studios America is teaming with Bishop-Lyons Entertainment on a first-look development deal.  Bishop-Lyons Entertainment was founded in 2010 and is led by Executive Producers, CEO Andrew Bishop and President David Lyons.  The company has developed, produced and partnered with many companies in non-scripted television including Fox Television Studios, Left/Right, Triage and now ITV Studios America.
