ABC Developing U.S. Adaptation of Brazil’s Under Pressure From David Shore

Overview

• ABC has a U.S. version of Sob Pressão in development under the title Under Pressure, with no cast, pilot order, or airdate announced.
• David Shore is attached to executive produce, with Jessica Grasl and Garrett Lerner writing the script based on the Conspiração format.
• Set at All Saints Hospital in Savannah, the drama centers on CAM, a surgeon guided by faith, and blends urgent cases with a complicated love triangle.
• Executive producers include Shore and Erin Gunn for Shore Z Prods., Alon Aranya for Paper Plane Productions, and Renata Brandão and Tereza Gonzalez for Conspiração, with 20th Television as the studio.
• The adaptation stems from a 2016 film inspired by a book by Márcio Maranhão and a TV Globo series that ran five seasons, with coverage noting parallels to HBO Max’s The Pitt during a broader medical-drama resurgence.
