USA Network Picks Up New Drama from Gale Anne Hurd

UNIVERSAL CITY: USA Network has given a series pickup to Falling Water, a drama from executive producers Gale Anne Hurd (The Walking Dead) of Valhalla Entertainment, Blake Masters (Brotherhood) and the late Emmy Award winner Henry Bromell (Homeland).

The pilot was written and co-created by Masters and Bromell and is from Universal Cable Productions (UCP). Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) directed the pilot and will also executive produce the series. Bromell and Masters previously worked together on Brotherhood and Rubicon.

Falling Water is the story of three unrelated people, who realize that they are dreaming separate parts of a single common dream. The visions found in their common dream might hold the key to the fate of the world. The series will star David Ajala (Fast & Furious 6), Will Yun Lee (Hawaii 5-0) and Lizzie Brochere (American Horror Story: Asylum).

“Falling Water captivated us with its cinematic journey and unique exploration into the power of the dream world,” said Jackie de Crinis, the executive VP of original programming at USA Network. “It is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that reveals a race to control the collective conscience.”

“Today’s world demands shows that both challenge and reward the audience in spectacular ways,” said Jeff Wachtel, the president and chief content officer at NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. “Falling Water is the type of show that can move the needle of popular culture with its thrilling exploration of the dark side of the mind.”
