Ex-FBI Profiler Joins Victim-Focused Crime Drama

Jon Beavers is set to co-star with Emily Deschanel in a new untitled one-hour drama series. The project draws inspiration from the work of expert profiler Dr. Ann Burgess, known for her contributions to understanding criminal minds.

The series centers on Professor Georgia Ryan, portrayed by Deschanel. She is a psychologist who challenges traditional criminology by prioritizing the victim's perspective in investigations. This approach aims to uncover critical clues that standard methods might overlook.

Beavers will play Will Andover, a once-promising FBI profiler from Quantico who experienced a career setback. Now at a career turning point, he is eager to prove himself again.

The show's narrative involves Ryan and her team consulting with the FBI to tackle difficult and elusive cases. This collaboration highlights a novel investigative strategy gaining traction.

Jennifer Morrison is slated to direct the pilot episode. The series is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
