NBC Cuts To The "Chase"

NBC has picked up "Chase", its fifth scripted series pilot for the 2010-11 season. The new action drama is from Emmy Award-winning executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer ("CSI") and executive producer Jennifer Johnson ("Cold Case").

"'Chase' has all the undeniable elements of a thrill ride that you would expect from a Jerry Bruckheimer action series," said NBC. "Equally important, it also features a great cast. Kelli Giddish is a breakout star as the lead."

"..."Chase" is a fast-paced drama that drops viewers smack into the middle of a game of cat-and-mouse as a team of U.S. marshals hunts down America's most dangerous fugitives. Kelli Giddish ("Past Life") stars as 'US Marshal Annie Frost', a cowboy boot-wearing deputy whose sharp mind and unique Texas upbringing help her track down the violent criminals on the run...".

Cole Hauser ("K-Ville"), Amaury Nolasco ("Prison Break"), Rose Rollins ("The L Word") and Jesse Metcalfe ("Desperate Housewives") also star as members of Frost's 'elite' team.

"Chase" is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc., in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television and Warner Bros. Television. Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman and Johnson serve as executive producers, with KristieAnne Reed co-executive producer.

David Nutter ("The X-Files") directed and is executive producer of the pilot.
