ABC has bought two projects from studios-based Mandeville TV — police drama Safe Harbor from Detroit 1-8-7 creator Jason Richman, and business start-up drama Mavericks from Brooklyn Girls author Gemma Burgess. Both projects are executive produced by Mandeville TV’s David Hoberman, Todd Lieberman and Laurie Zaks.
Richman is returning to the cop beat with Safe Harbor, moving from Motor City, where his ABC series Detroit 1-8-7 was set, to Los Angeles. Written and executive produced by him, Safe Harbor centers on the cops of LAPD’s Harbor Division, who bristle at the idea of another armchair outsider taking their fired Captain’s place. All this as Oriana Cloverfield embarks on a second career in law enforcement. As a recruit on patrol, Cloverfield witnesses the warts and all challenges and dedication of her fellow officers as well as the systemic mismanagement imposed on them from above. She ultimately shocks everyone as she reveals her true identity… she’s not just a new recruit, but the new Captain who wanted a view from the trenches. Cloverfield sets out to change the culture but gets pushback from those who think her unorthodox methods have crossed the line.
Written by Burgess, Mavericks centers on the cut-throat world of business start-ups. Ten years ago, Airbnb, Uber and Blue Apron didn’t exist and today they’re valued at $86 billion combined, however just 1 in 10 start-ups has a shot. Only the crème de la crème of entrepreneurs — the eccentrics, the pioneers confident to the point of sociopathic — are able to succeed. Mavericks is set in the cutthroat world of the start-up gold rush, where three young entrepreneurs share this obsession with greatness in an elite shared workspace known as “The Forge”; a hotbed of competition and sexual tension where no one is safe from elimination. Burgess co-executive produces.
