Overview
- David Boreanaz has closed a deal to play private investigator James Rockford and will also serve as a producer.
- The contemporary pilot is from writer-executive producer Mike Daniels with Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly producing for Universal Television, and Chris Leanza as co-executive producer.
- Per NBC’s logline, Rockford is newly paroled after a crime he didn’t commit and returns to PI work in Los Angeles, quickly drawing attention from local police and organized crime.
- The pilot is set to shoot in Atlanta with additional filming in Los Angeles, and decisions about a potential series’ production base and tax credits remain unresolved.
- NBC ordered the pilot in January as part of its renewed pilot-season push, and coverage notes Boreanaz’s history leading long-running series including Angel, Bones and SEAL Team.
