What’s next for Neve Campbell? She won’t be back for next year’s Scream 6 but Deadline reports this afternoon that Campbell has been set to lead the cast of David E. Kelly‘s “Avalon.”
David E. Kelly is the powerhouse creator of shows including “Chicago Hope,” “The Practice,” “Ally McBeal,” “Boston Public,” “Mr. Mercedes,” “Big Little Lies,” and “Big Sky.”
Based on Michael Connelly’s short story, “Avalon” comes from A+E Studios and 20th Television, and it will air on ABC with Neve Campbell in the leading role.
Deadline details, “Avalon, which received a straight-to-series order from ABC, takes place in the city of Avalon on Catalina Island, where L.A. Sheriff’s Department Detective Nicole “Nic” Searcy (Campbell) heads up a small office. Catalina has a local population that serves more than 1 million tourists a year, and each day when the ferries arrive, hundreds of potential new stories enter the island. Detective Searcy is pulled into a career-defining mystery that will challenge everything she knows about herself and the island.”
The site’s report continues, “Campbell’s Nic is the lone detective assigned to the LA County Sheriff’s substation on Catalina Island. Somewhat inscrutable, Nic isn’t easily intimidated and holds firm to her morals. Ironically, her strong moral compass is what got her banished to Catalina’s biggest city, Avalon. It’s a gig no career-driven LA cop wants, but Nic soon discovers her valuable detective skills are needed more on Avalon than she could have imagined.”
