NBC has bought procedural drama “First Responders” from executive producer Vin Diesel.
According to Variety, the hourlong series is a dynamic, high-action procedural about young veterans struggling to reintegrate into society, while heroically saving civilian lives along the way. The elite team is the best Search and Rescue operation in the country, and is run by husband-and-wife duo, Doc and Lil Pierce, whose Southern California coastal base provides a sense of community and surrogate family for their ex-military staff. While Doc and Lil can save anyone else’s life in the darkest times, they have been unable to find their own son and will stop at nothing to solve the mystery of his disappearance and bring him back home.
Exec producers are One Race Television’s Diesel & Samantha Vincent, ASAP Entertainment’s Jeff Fierson and Brad Peyton. Shana Waterman is co-executive producer, and will develop and oversee the project for One Race Television.
Video game writer Jesse Stern is set to pen the script. Payton is attached to direct.
