NBC has greenlit its third drama pilot of the week, with an untitled crime investigation series that delves into the world of forensic psychology. The show is being produced by Dean Georgaris ("Quantum Leap") and John Fox ("The Equalizer"), alongside executive producer John Davis' company Davis Entertainment.
At the center of this gripping drama is Professor Georgia Ryan, a trailblazing psychologist who flips the script on traditional criminology by focusing on the victim's experiences to uncover crucial clues. Working with the FBI, Ryan and her team tackle the most puzzling cases that have stumped investigators before.
Inspired by the real-life work of Dr. Ann Burgess, a pioneering expert profiler and author, the show explores the intersection of psychology and crime investigation. Burgess, a forensic nurse who worked with victims of sexual abuse, collaborated with the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit and co-wrote books on serial killers and profiling with Steven Constantine.
The character of Ryan is developed from Burgess' groundbreaking work in the field of trauma assessment and treatment for rape victims, as well as her expertise in profiling serial killers. Her involvement on the show will bring a level of authenticity to the storytelling.
With this pilot order, NBC is making a concerted effort to revive the traditional pilot season, after a year marked by limited pilots being picked up. The network has already greenlit shows such as "Protection" and a reboot of "The Rockford Files," further solidifying its commitment to reviving the pilot season.
