NBC is diving into the crime drama world again with a fresh project. This time, they're working on a one-hour drama inspired by the work of Dr. Ann Burgess. She's a big deal in the profiling world, and her work has even inspired other popular shows like Mindhunter.
The story follows Professor Georgia Ryan, a psychologist who's changing the game in criminology. Instead of just focusing on the criminals, she looks at the victims to find clues. She teams up with the FBI to crack some of the toughest cases.
The show is written by Dean Georgaris and John Fox, who have worked together before. They're teaming up with Universal Television for this project. Dr. Burgess is also involved as a consulting producer, bringing her expertise to the table.
This isn't the only crime drama NBC is working on this season. They've got a few others in the mix, including a reboot of The Rockford Files. It looks like NBC is really going all in on crime shows this season.
Georgaris has had some success with other shows like The Brave and Bluff City Law. Davis Entertainment, which is behind this project, has also produced popular shows like The Blacklist and Magnum P. I. So, they've got a good track record.
It's interesting to see how this new show will turn out. Focusing on the victims instead of just the criminals is a fresh approach. It could bring a new perspective to crime dramas.
