Telemystery: CBS Developing Doc Ford, based on a Randy Wayne White Series Character

CBS is developing a crime drama based on Randy Wayne White's series character Marion "Doc" Ford.

Titled Doc Ford, Chris Gerolmo is writing the script that is centered on the ex-NSA agent, who now lives on the gulf coast of Florida working as a marine biologist.

White's long-running series began in 1990 with the publication of Sanibel Flats. The most recent book, Night Moves, the 20th in the series, was published earlier this year. With lots of fine material to work from, and the right casting, this could be a stellar drama for CBS.
