ATLANTA, Ga. – Turner's TNT has ordered a
pilot for “The Deep Mad Dark,” which is being produced by John Wells
Productions and Fabrik Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon
Television and Turner's Studio T. An atmospheric mystery-thriller about the
complexities of female friendship, “The Deep Mad Dark” pilot is written by
Megan Martin (“Animal Kingdom,” “Cult”), who also serves as executive producer,
along with John Wells (“ER,” “The West Wing,” “Animal Kingdom,” “Shameless,”
“Southland”), Fabrik CEO Henrik Bastin (“BOSCH,” “The Comedians,” “American
Odyssey”) and Kristen Campo (“The Killing,” “The Good Guys”).
“The Deep Mad Dark” opens as Detroit neurosurgeon Polly
Lewis embarks on an unorthodox study in the field of memory and trauma. Her
once closest friend – the irreverent, brilliant Tash Hollander – comes home
after living many years in a strange, off-the-grid community in Belize. Upon
her return, Tash insinuates herself into Polly's life in audacious ways that
threaten everything Polly has achieved. But why?
“The Deep Mad Dark” is a propulsive, layered mystery about
an intoxicating friendship and how it leads to a brutal act of violence that
drives two women in radically different ways. Set against the landscape of
modern Detroit, it explores the power certain friendships have to shape who we are
– in ways both beautiful and dangerous.
Earlier this year, Wells and Martin helped usher in the
first of TNT's new breed of drama with the hit series “Animal Kingdom.”
Produced by John Wells Productions in association with Warner Horizon
Television, “Animal Kingdom” launched over the summer to rave reviews and
finished its first season ranking as one of cable's Top 5 new dramas for the
quarter. The series has already been renewed for a second season to air in
2017.
