Pitch star Mark-Paul Gosselaar is staying in the Fox/20th TV fold with a starring role in their off-cycle drama pilot The Passage, co-produced by Scott Free and Matt Reeves’ 6th and Idaho. Also cast in the project, based on author Justin Cronin’s bestselling fantasy book trilogy, are child actress Saniyya Sidney(FX/20th TV’s American Horror Story), Time After Time star Genesis Rodriguez, Brianne Howey (Fox/20th TV’s The Exorcist), BJ Britt(Fox/20th TV pilot Behind Enemy Lines) and Jennifer Ferrin(Time After Time).
The pilot takes advantage of its off-cycle timing by casting several actors who just became available after their series were canceled (Gosselaar, Rodriguez and Ferrin) or their pilot did not go forward (Britt). The Passage also reunites Pitch star Gosselaar with Britt, who recurred on the baseball series.
Written by Liz Heldens and directed by Marcos Siega, The Passage is described as an epic, character-driven thriller that morphs into a post-apocalyptic odyssey. The project recently received an order for a second script as it eyes a potential midseason launch.
The pilot shoots in Atlanta beginning this month. Matt Reeves, Adam Kassan, Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, Heldens and Siega executive produce.
