Written by Gussis and Dark Horse SVP production Keith Goldberg, Body Politic is inspired by the work of real-life D.C. examiner Dr. Roger Mitchell. It follows a newly minted, brutally honest female chief medical examiner in Washington D.C. who gets recruited by the CIA to help solve the most high-stakes, politicized cases in the world.
Webb is set to direct the potential pilot. He is executive producing the project with Gussis, Goldberg and Dark Horse Entertainment’s president Michael Richardson who is exec producing for CBS TV Studios.
