CBS is developing a new crime drama based on the Austrian series Schnell Ermittelt (Fast Forward). Wendy Battles (Unforgettable) will write the pilot screenplay for CBS TV Studios to produce.
The original storyline is centered on Chief Inspector Angelika Schnell (played by Ursula Strauss), who is head of the Vienna police homicide division. Divorced from Dr. Stefan Schnell, the Medical Examiner, with whom she still works, she has to balance her professional life with raising two young children.
Schnell Ermittelt ran for four 10-episode seasons from April 2009 through April 2012 on ORF-1. Each season seems to be devoted largely to a single investigation though other cases are covered as well. When the series was not renewed for a fifth season, two 90-minute made-for-television movies were produced to wrap up the outstanding storylines.
