New Joel Surnow Series for TNT

MUNICH, September 29: Muse
Entertainment and Tandem Communications have teamed up to produce Night and
Day, a new series for TNT created
and written by Emmy Award-winners Joel Surnow, the co-creator of 24, and Todd Robinson.

Night and Day stars William Fichtner (Prison Break, The Dark Knight, Crash)
and Sherry Stringfield (Tell me You Love Me, ER)
in a character-driven drama that is set in the world of international crime.
Fichtner plays a federal law-enforcement agent who is facing personnel changes
in his department that are causing clashes and differences of style and
opinion. His character also juggles his dangerous work as a top agent during
the day with the challenges of being a husband and father at night.

“Rarely does a script come
along that combines so much feverish action and heartrending emotion into one
hour,” said executive producer Michael Prupas, the CEO of Muse Entertainment.
“This has never been done before: a window on the life and labors of a federal
agent at work and at home.”

“Night and Day is
a coup for us,” added Rola Bauer,
the managing director of Tandem
Communications. “We are once again working with Michael Prupas, who is an
excellent partner. In addition, we’re thrilled to be working with an
exceptional and veteran creative team headed by Joel Surnow and Todd Robinson. Night
and Day will definitely have
strong legs internationally.”

"Todd Robinson and I
are thrilled that our pilot has been attracting such a superior level of
talent,” commented Surnow. “Our behind the camera team is world class, and our
cast is shaping up as a dream team. Bill Fichtner and Sherry Stringfield are
our lead actors—it doesn't get better than that. And we are truly lucky
to be doing this show at TNT with Michael Wright and his team who are
responsible for the most successful shows on cable."
