Last August NBC acquired the US rights to the Israeli crime thriller Timrot Ashan (Pillars of Smoke). Today the television network ordered a pilot for a potential series, now titled Midnight Sun.
In the Israeli series, the police investigate a cult from the Golan Heights that has mysteriously disappeared. With little assistance from the local population, the lead investigator discovers a political conspiracy with potential environmental consequences. The US version is expected to be set in Alaska though the overall storyline is the same. Lisa Zwerling (FlashForward, The Event) has written the pilot's screenplay and will executive produce.
