ABC has ordered straight-to-series ten episodes of Skydance Television’s all-new ”Ten Days in the Valley”, which will star and be executive produced by Emmy and Golden Globe winner Kyra Sedgwick. Skydance Television anticipates that the series, which is created, written, and executive produced by Tassie Cameron (”Rookie Blue”), who also serves as showrunner, will debut on ABC in 2017. ”Ten Days in the Valley” marks Sedgwick’s return to headlining a drama series following her seven-season tenure on The Closer.
Skydance’s original series follows Jane Sadler (Sedgwick), an overworked television producer and single mother in the middle of a fractious separation. When her young daughter goes missing in the middle of the night, Jane’s world – and her controversial police series – implodes. Life imitates art: everything’s a mystery, everyone has a secret, and no one can be trusted.
“Playing Jane Sadler is exactly the deep and emotionally charged role I was searching for in a series. I look forward to working with the team at Skydance, who have continuously created exceptional film and TV projects. We are all very excited that Ten Days in the Valley has found its home on ABC,” commented Sedgwick.
“Kyra is an extraordinary performer who lends an incredible sense of intensity and commitment to her work, and we are so excited to partner with her, Tassie, and ABC to bring our riveting new series to network television audiences next year,” said Marcy Ross, President of Skydance Television.
“Ten Days in the Valley has everything: it’s a thriller, it’s a taut, exciting love story, and it has the kind of character our audience loves, a strong, powerful woman who is also dangerously flawed. We’re thrilled to have the amazing Kyra Sedgwick play this compelling role,” added Channing Dungey, President, ABC Entertainment.
The Skydance Television series is executive produced by Sedgwick and Jill Littman along with Cameron, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Marcy Ross.
