Mark Gordon is bringing his feature film Source Code to the small screen.
His Mark Gordon Company, which is locked into an overall deal at ABC Studios, has sold a TV version of the sci-fi thriller to CBS with a meaningful penalty. The news marks ABC Studios’ first off-network sale of the development season.
Like the film on which it is based, the action/procedural follows three former federal agents who are part of a top-secret program. Each week, they’ll use “Source Code” technology to jump into the consciousness of people involved in tragic events.
Gordon (Grey’s Anatomy, Criminal Minds) will produce the project, with Vendome Pictures’ Philippe Rousselet serving as a consulting producer. Steve Maeda (Lie to Me, Lost) is on board to write.
This follows a flurry of development season deals for Gordon’s company, including a contemporary Miami Vice-style crime drama Untouchable, a Crazy Stupid Love-esque emotional procedural Winging It and an adaptation of Candace Bushnell‘s One Fifth.
Gordon is repped by ICM.
