USA Network has picked up Briarpatch<\/em>, starring Rosario Dawson (Rent<\/em>, Seven Pounds<\/em>) and executive produced by Sam Esmail (Mr. Robot<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Briarpatch<\/em>, the first season in a new anthology drama series, is based on the Ross Thomas novel of the same name. It follows Allegra Dill (Dawson), a dogged investigator returning to her border-town Texas home after her sister is murdered. What begins as a search for a killer turns into an all-consuming fight to bring her corrupt hometown to its knees.<\/p>\n

The series is written for television by Andy Greenwald, who will executive produce along with Esmail through his production company Esmail Corp and Anonymous Content\u2019s Chad Hamilton. Ana Lily Amirpour directed the pilot and also served as an executive producer. In addition to her starring role, Dawson will serve as a producer. The show is from\u00a0UCP and Paramount Television.<\/p>\n

Additionally,\u00a0Greenwald will join Esmail on UCP\u2019s roster of overall deals, developing and producing premium scripted content for cable and streaming platforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we were first introduced to the anthology by Andy Greenwald, UCP and Paramount Television, we were immediately struck by the show\u2019s unique tone and captivating story,\u201d said Chris McCumber, president of entertainment networks for NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. \u201cAnd Sam Esmail\u2019s incomparable vision and style, coupled with Rosario Dawson\u2019s tremendous performance as Allegra Dill, will no doubt leave audiences buzzing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
