Deadline is reporting that Dean Devlin is back in cahoots with TNT. This only a short time after the network ended the run of his drama series Leverage after 5 seasons. TNT has given the go ahead for his new drama pilot for an untitled quirky bounty hunter drama starring Geena Davis.
The show is inspired by the real-life story of bounty hunter Mackenzie Green (watch a short film about her below). It will star the Oscar winner as an unconventional bail bondswoman and bounty hunter whose eccentric personality and unusual tactics give her an advantage in a tough and unpredictable business.
Devlin is set to direct the pilot, produced by his independent company Electric Entertainment, Ternion Productions and 3 Arts. It was written by Scott Prendergast and Amy Berg who will serve as showrunners and will executive produce with Devlin, Ternion’s John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky and 3 Arts’ Tom Lassally and Michael Rotenberg. Davis serves as co-executive producer. In addition to Leverage, Devlin also executive produced TNT’s successful Librarian original movie trilogy.
