USA Moves Toward Darker Skies With New Development Slate
Posted in: Uncategorized
USA Network has announced a new development slate that steps away from its tradition of blue-sky dramas.
Its dramas in development are set not on the beaches of Hamptons or Miami, but take place on a Middle Eastern compound, boomtown in North Dakota and Midwest farm, with plots about Christian faith, a computer programmer and aliens.
The shift comes as other basic cable networks like FX, History and AMC find success and buzz from darker and grittier fare like “The Walking Dead” and “Sons of Anarchy.” USA won’t go as dark as those shows, but is clearly changing the mix.
