USA Network Announces Prime Time Crime Series in Development

Earlier this week TNT announced its slate of series in development and today USA has done the same. As per usual, we're focusing on those that have a mystery-, suspense- or thriller-theme to them.

Bang Bang is based on the French television series Doom Doom and is centered on an unlikely partnership that is formed when veteran hitman Danny is saved by rival novice hired gun Marco, while executing a target. This dynamic duo pair up to execute contracts … if they don't kill each other first.

San Francisco's hottest new restaurant, Tour, an exciting fusion of world cuisines that's drawing crowds across all demographics in the Bay Area is the setting for Rare. Part of its allure may be the chef, a mysterious ex-special forces captain who's good with a knife both inside … and outside the kitchen. Even if he tries to resist his old violent life, he will be unlikely to keep it entirely outside his new establishment.

In Fallen, San Diego homicide detective Robbie Brownlaw, a gruff, macho cop known for his "act first, ask questions later' approach, develops the rare condition of synesthesia during recovery from a head trauma accident and suddenly finds himself seeing "emotions". His partner doesn't quite understand this "touchy-feely" approach to solving crimes, but there's no doubt that this new insight is helping clear cases. Based on a character created by crime novelist T. Jefferson Parker in his "California Crime" thriller The Fallen.
