Sophia Bush Joins CBS Pilot: Get All the Details!

Sophia Bush is staying in the world of law for her latest role.

Per Deadline, the actress will lead the cast of Surveillance, a brand new spy drama that's in the works at CBS.

Described as “complex and timely spy thriller,” it focuses on a head of communications for the National Security Agency, who is forced to choose between protecting the government's secrets and her own.

The Eye network has handed out a production commitment to the potential series which represents the first 20th TV series to be in the works at the network in almost three years.

The TV buying climate has changed over the years as the networks look to buying shows from their own studios because they make more money on the backend.

Could this signal yet another change?

Surveillance is penned by David C. White, while Patricia Riggen is on board to direct the pilot.

Surveillance started its life at Fox, but it failed to snag a pilot order, allowing it to be shopped elsewhere. It does sound like the type of series that would fit in well on CBS.

With the NCIS franchise, Hawaii Five-0 and Bull, the network has solidified itself as the go-to destination for fans of procedural dramas.

Bush is probably most well-known for her role on The WB/The CW's One Tree Hill in which she starred as Brooke Davis.

She went on to star on Chicago P.D. but departed the series in 2017 following the conclusion of Chicago P.D. Season 4.
