USA NETWORK INCLUDES GEMMA HALLIDAY'S SPYING IN HIGH HEELS ON ITS SLATE OF 2007/2008 PROJECTS


A new cast of characters are being welcomed to USA Network's ambitious development slate for the 2007/2008 season. Bolstering the "Characters Welcome" brand, a slate of five new pilot scripts was announced by Jeff Wachtel, USA's executive vice president, original programming.

One of the projects includes a show entitled Spying in High Heels, based on the characters from Gemma Halliday's 2006 release of the same name.

"Our scripted series development continues USA's mission to bring unique, powerful and engaging characters to life - something our audiences have come to expect from us," said Wachtel. "Great characters, marketable concepts and an unprecedented commitment to quality these are what make our shows work."

The show concept follows shoe designer Maddie Springer, who in an effort to track down her missing boyfriend, realizes that her knack for fashion also serves another purpose: It makes her a great detective. Maddie's uniquely female perspective helps her pick up clues, using her designer's eye to discern tell tale shapes, colors and patterns, among other things. Along with her best friend Dana, an out-of-work actress, Maddie decides to open a detective agency operating out of her stepfather's hair salon. Producer is Larry Shuman and Executive Producer/Writer is Sara Endsley.

On the book side, Spying in High Heels has earned high praise across the board, including a starred review in Publishers Weekly. It is a double finalist for the highly prestigious Rita Award and also for a National Readers' Choice Award. Killer in High Heels was released in March to much acclaim, and Halliday's next book, Undercover in High Heels, is a September release from Dorchester Publishing.

With more original hours than any other cable network this summer-including the #1 new cable show in 2006, PSYCH, as well as MONK, THE 4400, THE DEAD ZONE, BURN NOTICE, WWE and THE STARTER WIFE-USA is a leader in basic cable scripted series and ranked as the #1 cable network across the board in 2006 ratings.
