HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — NBC has picked up its fifth scripted series pilot for the 2010-11 season in Chase, a new drama from Emmy Award-winning executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer (CSI, Pirates of the Caribbean films) and executive producer Jennifer Johnson (Cold Case).
The fast-paced drama will follow a team of U.S. marshals hunting down America's most dangerous fugitives. Kelli Giddish (Past Life) stars as U.S. Marshal Annie Frost, a cowboy boot-wearing deputy whose sharp mind and unique Texas upbringing help her track down the violent criminals on the run.
Cole Hauser (K-Ville), Amaury Nolasco (Prison Break), Rose Rollins (The L Word) and Jesse Metcalfe (Desperate Housewives) also star as members of Frost's elite team.
"Chase has all the undeniable elements of a thrill ride that you would expect from a Jerry Bruckheimer action series," said Angela Bromstad, President, Primetime Entertainment, NBC and Universal Media Studios. "Equally important, it also features a great cast. Kelli Giddish is a breakout star as the lead."
NBC previously announced pickups of Undercovers, The Event, Love Bites, and Outsourced. More new shows are expected to be announced when the network holds its fall presentation for advertisers on May 17 in New York.
