NBC has ordered a new drama pilot from David Janollari, the former MTV programming exec and “Six Feet Under” producer.
“Salvation” will be executive produced and written by “Deception” writer/producer Liz Heldens.
It is described as a provocative drama set against the backdrop of a prominent Texas church where faith, family and corruption are explored in equal measure. The pilot centers on Jennifer Strickland, who has to defend her children, church and religious beliefs after her husband dies under mysterious circumstances.
“Salvation” will go into contention for a series order alongside NBC’s previously announced drama pilots
