CBS has passed on the Sophia Bush drama pilot Surveillance.
The conspiracy thriller drama starring the Chicago PD alumna was not picked up by CBS.
According to Variety, the drama pilot generated quite the buzz and “tested through the roof” according to the network, however, eventually CBS decided that it wasn’t a good fit.
Surveillance hailed from Matt Reeves, David C. White, Patricia Riggen and 20th Century Fox TV, which co-produced with CBS TV Studios. The pilot was penned by White and directed by Riggen. It was described as “a complex and timely spy thriller centered around the head of communications for the NSA (Bush), a charming operative who finds her loyalties torn between protecting the government’s secrets and her own.”
CBS has picked up eight pilots to series for its 2019-2020 season: Evil, All Rise, FBI: Most Wanted, Tommy, Bob Hearts Abishola, Broke, Carol’s Second Act and The Unicorn.
