NBC PICKS UP NEW DRAMA SERIES �CHASE,� FROM JERRY BRUCKHEIMER, FOR 2010-11 SEASON
Drama Becomes NBC�s Fifth New Scripted Series Announced for New Season
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. � May 10, 2010 � NBC has picked up its fifth scripted series pilot for the 2010-11 season in �Chase,� a new drama from Emmy Award-winning executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer (�CSI� franchise, �The Amazing Race,� �Pirates of the Caribbean� films) and executive producer Jennifer Johnson (�Cold Case�).
The announcement was made by Angela Bromstad, President, Primetime Entertainment, NBC and Universal Media Studios.
�Chase� joins previously announced "Undercovers," "The Event," "Love Bites," and "Outsourced" as the fifth new scripted series currently announced for NBC�s new season with additional pickups yet to be announced.
�'Chase� has all the undeniable elements of a thrill ride that you would expect from a Jerry Bruckheimer action series,� said Bromstad. �Equally important, it also features a great cast. Kelli Giddish is a breakout star as the lead.�
�Chase� is a fast-paced drama that drops viewers smack into the middle of a game of cat-and-mouse as a team of U.S. marshals hunts down America's most dangerous fugitives. Kelli Giddish (�Past Life�) stars as U.S. Marshal Annie Frost, a cowboy boot-wearing deputy whose sharp mind and unique Texas upbringing help her track down the violent criminals on the run.
Cole Hauser (�K-Ville�), Amaury Nolasco (�Prison Break�), Rose Rollins ("The L Word�) and Jesse Metcalfe (�Desperate Housewives�) also star as members of Frost�s elite team.
�Chase� is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc., in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television and Warner Bros. Television. Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman (�CSI� franchise, �The Amazing Race,� "Cold Case�) and Johnson serve as executive producers, while KristieAnne Reed is co-executive producer. David Nutter (�The Mentalist,� �Without a Trace� �The X-Files�) directed and is executive producer of the pilot which was written by Johnson.
