USA Network is developing Dicks, a female led PI drama, per Deadline's exclusive.
The project hails from Heather V. Regnier (iZombie, SMILF, Sleepy Hollow), Susanna Fogel (The Spy Who Dumped Me, Booksmart, Chasing Life, Utopia, The Wilds), Rob Thomas (iZombie, Veronica Mars, 90210), Spondoolie Productions, and Warner Horizon Scripted Television.
Regnier will pen the drama with Fogel attached to direct. Additionally, Deadline notes that like all USA Network and Syfy projects being developed another possible home is the upcoming NBCUniversal streaming platform.
Dicks is described as The Big Lebowski meets Broad City. It centers on Phyllis Roarke, who returns home to Los Angeles after she is fired from her job at the White House, only to have her government-issued cell phone stolen by a gang at a house party. To get it back, she must reconnect with her two estranged best friends from high school, and as de facto private investigators — aka, dicks — they stumble into a citywide conspiracy involving a notorious mobster, a washed-up screenwriter, and a lemur named Darwin. Dicks is described by Regnier and Fogel as "a celebration of the female weirdo, which is real feminism — our other favorite F word."
