USATV Productions Reveals New Crime Drama Nova Vita

USATV Productions’ Bagrat and Vaagn Sargsyan, former News Corp executive Marty Pompadur and E! founder Larry Namer have teamed up to launch the new crime drama Nova Vita.

Created by the Sargsyan brothers, Nova Vita is the story of two men, best friends Mark Davis (Jared Farid Ward) and Carter Hayes (Micah Hauptman), who work in the cryptocurrency business and find themselves in legal trouble. The only way to escape the consequences is to fake their own deaths with the assistance of a company named Nova Vita that helps billionaires to stage their deaths and create their new identities, appearances and lives.

Along with Ward and Hauptman, the cast includes Stephen Baldwin, Thomas Beaudoin, Reed Birney, Jonathan Camp, Raymond Cruz, Michel Gill, Robert Knepper, Marci Miller, Dean Norris, Jenny Shakeshaft and Titus Welliver.

The ten-part series is directed by commercial and music video director Santiago Salviche and written by Scott Windhauser (Hurricane Heist, Death in Texas, Vengeance).

“We decided to announce the completed project now as we believe Nova Vita will be a much-welcomed escape for TV audiences around the world facing these difficult times,” said Bagrat Sargsyan. “The high-concept thriller is a very popular genre with viewers, both young and old. We can see what has resonated on Netflix, Amazon and HBO and Nova Vita will be a plug and play series for the right outlet.”

“With Hollywood production at a standstill, broadcasters and streaming platforms are hungry for quality content like Nova Vita,” commented Namer. “The series has it all: luxury lifestyle, international crime, conspiracy and intrigue. It’s sure to have great appeal for viewers around the globe.”

“Bagrat and Vaagn have created an amazing new series with Nova Vita,” added Pompadur. “From its excellent casting to its talented production team, the show will ignite viewers’ interest and be a must-see show to add to their schedules.”
