The X Files' Gillian Anderson and 666 Park Avenue's Rachael Taylor have been tapped to star in the drama from Life's Ravich, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Anderson will play Meg Fitch, the CEO of a multi-conglomerate and mother to Amber. She's horrified to learn of the mass abduction of her daughter and her private school classmates. Long estranged from her sister, Susie, with whom she shares a shocking secret, Meg will use her own intelligence and judgment to do whatever it takes to get her daughter back.
Taylor will play Agent Susie Dunn, the highly trained and dedicated FBI agent who is the point person of the bus abduction. Her niece is among those abducted. She'll re-establish ties with her sister, Meg (Anderson), whom she hasn't spoken with for years. Determined to get to the bottom of the crisis, she shares a closely kept secret with Meg that largely explains their long alienation.

This seems mildly interesting. I'll keep an eye on how this pilot develops.
ReplyDeleteOoh, definitely interested now!
ReplyDeleteWould love to see Gillian back on the screen again! ..... I would love another X-Files too!
ReplyDeleteBeen a fan of Gillian's since X-Files so I'd watch this.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of Gillian Anderson, but I might check this out for Rachael Taylor.
ReplyDeleteSuper fan of Gillian, but not of this.
ReplyDelete"[Pretty, White successful female]'s life takes an unexpected turn when her offspring is put into sudden danger. Coming this fall on every major network."
ReplyDeleteSeems like a new one gets announced every week.
Might watch because Gillian, but it would be pretty weird to see her side by side with an FBI agent who's not Mulder.
ReplyDeleteGillian is great but I found RT one of the worst things about 666 Park Avenue.
ReplyDeleteI a die-hard Life fan, but I'm not thrilled by this casting.
ReplyDeleteNBC is going to be a bloodbath in this year's upfronts. Maybe this drama could sneak in....at least for midseason.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how good this sounds, to be honest, much as I love Anderson.
ReplyDeleteGillian is back! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Gillian's really snatching up all of these roles. She's gonna be on Hannibal, The Fall, AND this pilot! Good for her! And I'm really starting to love Rachael.
ReplyDeleteawesome plot and gillian anderson I'd watch it.
ReplyDeleteI think I can see them as being related....
ReplyDeleteI saw this pilot---it was terrific! Can't wait for it to come out. Ful of suspense, great acting by all---I think this one is going to be a hit!
