DESCRIPTION:
(from Spike TV's press release, February 2016) Spike has teamed up with Paramount Television and Universal Cable Productions to develop a scripted dramatic series, "Pendergast." Award-winning and critically-acclaimed producer Gale Anne Hurd of Valhalla Entertainment ("The Walking Dead") serves as Executive Producer, with John McLaughlin ("Black Swan") set as the writer and Executive Producer. Based on the bestselling novels "Relic" and "Cabinet of Curiosities" by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, the series centers around Aloysius Pendergast, an eccentric special agent with the FBI. Set in a contemporary version of gothic New York City, the first season finds Pendergast investigating a present day crime mimicking a century old mystery -- which links to his own family's dark past. "Pendergast" represents the first collaboration between Spike and Paramount Television, both Viacom properties. It's also the second co-production between Paramount Television and Universal Cable Productions with the first being the pilot "Shooter." |
