NBC Bets on Burgess-Inspired Crime Drama From Georgaris & Fox

NBC has green-lit an untitled one-hour crime drama pilot from The Brave creator Dean Georgaris and John Fox, inspired by profiler and author Dr. Ann Burgess. The series centers on Professor Georgia Ryan, who shifts criminology to a victim-focused approach and collaborates with the FBI to solve baffling cases, with Burgess and Steven Constantine as consultants. Universal Television chairs the project with Davis Entertainment, marking another crime drama pilot for NBC this season and potentially one more to reach four.
