EXCLUSIVE: NBC has bought the pitch for Wild Life, an Alaskan crime procedural from Will Trent‘s Juliet Lashinsky-Revene, putting the project into development.
The drama, written and exec produced by Lashinsky-Revene, follows former NYPD Sgt. Kate Russo, now an agent with the National Park’s Investigative Services Branch, as she investigates violent crimes in the unforgiving wilderness of Denali and struggles to reconnect with her teenage daughter. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.
A co-executive producer on Will Trent, Lashinky-Revene previously worked on Law & Order: Organized Crime, writing and producing episodes for several seasons. She also recently adapted the YA murder mystery novel They’ll Never Catch Us, alongside author Jessica Goodman, for Netflix.
Previously, Lashinky-Revene has also written on Dirty John and Paramount+’s Sexy Beast. She is repped by Paradigm and Darren Trattner at Jackoway Austen.
Wild Life is just the latest series put into development with NBC and UTV. Most recently, we announced Worth, a detective drama from Mike Diliberti, Jake Coburn and The Terminal List’s Jack Carr, as well as a Gatsby police procedural with a gender-swap element from Coburn and Jason Tracey.
