Greg Berlanti and Martin Gero are getting political.
The Blindspot duo have scored a hefty put-pilot commitment from NBC for drama Republic.
The drama, written by Alex Berger (Blindspot, The Mentalist) is described as a hopeful political drama that follows the newly minted female chief of staff to a moderate Republican president. With their administration in dire crisis, they find themselves under fire from extremists on both sides, defending their well-intentioned actions both politically and legally.
Berger will pen the script and exec produce alongside Warner Bros. Television-based Greg Berlanti Productions and Gero's Quinn's House banner. Berlanti Productions topper Sarah Schechter will also exec produce the hourlong drama.
