USA Greenlights Pilot for World War II Alien-Invasion Series HORIZON

[Lebron23]

USA Network today finalized a cast contingent pilot order for the hour-long period genre series HORIZON. The Universal Cable Productions’ project with Valhalla Entertainment is the first new pilot from executive producer Gale Anne Hurd since the Golden Globe®-nominated “The Walking Dead,” which comes from her studio deal. Stacey Levin, Valhalla’s VP of Television, and Kris Henigman, Director of Development, shepherded the project.

Set during the height of World War II, HORIZON centers on a secretary at the FBI who discovers that her husband might have been killed in a battle with a spaceship in the South Pacific. Obsessed with learning the truth, she becomes the only person standing between Earth and an alien invasion. Gale Anne Hurd will executive produce HORIZON with writer and co-executive producer Bridget Tyler (Burn Notice).

“HORIZON is our first genre piece since THE 4400 and the first ever period drama for the network,” said USA Network Co-Presidents Jeff Wachtel and Chris McCumber. “This signals the next step in the evolution of our programming brand.”

Cool concept but I'm not gonna get excited til I see it. TNT tried a similar theme with "Falling Skies" which seemed cool during the previews but the actual show is mediocre.

They should call it Resistance Fall of Man.
