An eight-hour drama inspired by Carolyn Arnold’s “Madison Knight” detective novels is being developed by Muse Entertainment and Pop Fiction Entertainment.
Hélène Joy will star as Madison Knight, a daring detective who works to investigate criminals throughout the series. Orion Lee (“First Cow”) will portray Knight’s work partner, Detective Steven Hung. The action-packed crime drama is set on both the Pacific coastline of Sydney, Australia and the wilderness of British Columbia, Canada.
“As I read the books, I was immediately taken with Madison as a leading female character. She is unapologetic, unpredictable and deeply flawed. An extremely reluctant heroine if you will. What I love most is her sardonic nature and deeply sarcastic sense of humor. She doesn’t suffer fools and has little time for small talk,” said Joy, on her new role of Knight, in a statement.
Australian writer Justin Monjo and Canadian writer Lynn Coady are developing the series.

IFC announced that they are picking up a total of eight new shows. In that tally is a little untitled action series about a psychotic criminal juggling a criminal enterprise and an active social life. The premise reads like “The Sopranos” meets “Dexter” and may be a potential hit for the channel if it is half as good as either of those shows. Executively produced by Spencer, Michael Prupas and Bruce Hills, and produced by Jesse Prupas and Evi Regev this show is one to keep an eye on.
