Blake Masters, who created Showtime’s superb political/mob drama “Brotherhood,” is behind “Line of Sight,” the first sci-fi pilot greenlit by AMC.
From today’s press release:
“Line of Sight” is the story of Lewis Bernt, a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator who survives a mysterious plane crash, bringing him on a quest to discover the accident’s cause.
Time travelers? Extraterrestrials?
"Blake Masters has created a world and set of characters that defies the traditional boundaries of drama and sci-fi. It's got great elements of both genres while also having that unique blend of a conspiracy thriller. It is genuinely unexpected and unconventional,” said Joel Stillerman, AMC’s EVP of original programming, production and digital content.
If you need evidence of Masters’ mastery, check out “Only A Pawn,” the 2007 episode of “Brotherhood” he wrote and directed.
This is a project worth rooting for. Production begins later this year.
