DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release, February 2022) In a highly competitive situation, ABC Entertainment has given a straight-to-series order to the A+E Studios and 20th Television drama, "Avalon," from David E. Kelley ("Big Sky," "Big Little Lies") and bestselling author Michael Connelly ("The Lincoln Lawyer," "Bosch"). Based on a short story by Connelly, the series takes place in the main city of Avalon on Catalina Island, where LA Sheriff Department Detective Nicole "Nic" Searcy 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. Kelley will write the pilot episode and the series will join ABC's 2022-2023 programming slate. |
