“The Shield” and “S.W.A.T.” creator Shawn Ryan has confirmed he is adapting Matthew Quirk’s novel “The Night Agent” into a TV series.
Ryan penned a series of tweets about his favourite books in 2020 and has already finished writing a pilot script on spec at Sony Pictures Television where he has an exclusive overall deal.
The story follows FBI Agent Peter Sutherland who is thrown into a vast conspiracy and must take the rules into his own hands in a desperate hunt for a Russian mole at the US government’s highest levels.
The project is still in internal development and will be taken out in the new year. Ryan and Marney Hochman are executive producing.
