Hilary Swank to Star in and Executive Produce Alaska-Set Drama STILLWATER at ABC
ABC has picked up a pilot titled Stillwater. The Alaska-set drama has brought Oscar-winner Hilary Swank (Boys Don’t Cry, Million Dollar Baby) on board to star and executive produce. Tom McCarthy has also boarded the project as writer, director, and executive producer as well. The pilot marks McCarthy’s first broadcast network project. He wrote the pilot of Showtime’s Roger Ailes miniseries The Loudest Voice, and executive produced and directed select episodes of Netflix series 13 Reasons Why.
Swank will play a star journalist who moves to Alaska for a fresh start after a career-killing misstep, and finds redemption personally and professionally joining a daily metro newspaper in Anchorage.
Not much else is known yet about the plot or casting, but it sounds like a solid idea. I guess we will see how it all pans out. Does this sound like a series you might enjoy?
