Variety is reporting that NBC is developing a new project based on the ITV series Prime Suspect, which starred Helen Mirren as DCI Jane Tennison and was written by Lynda La Plante. The series produced 7 multi-part episodes (made-for-television movies) over a 15-year period, winning 3 Emmys for best mini-series and 2 Emmys for Mirren as Best Actress.
Hank Steinberg (Without a Trace) will develop and write the pilot, which is expected to be a 2-hour episode.
The deal between NBC and ITV is the second to be recently announced; earlier this year ITV signed on to produce a UK version of NBC's long-running series Law & Order.
