TV: Anna Pigeon

The first trailer has been released for the new USA Network series Anna Pigeon, based on the bestselling novels by Nevada Barr. Morwyn Brebner is showrunner and Tracy Spiridakos stars in the series that "follows Anna, a former city slicker who becomes a park ranger after a devastating loss that changed the trajectory of her life forever. While Anna tries to outrun her demons, her focus turns to solving crimes that have taken place within national park grounds, no matter who or what gets in her way," Deadline reported. The show is set to premiere August 7.

The cast also features Kim Coates, Ronnie Rowe Jr. as FBI Agent Frederick Stanton, and Paulina Alexis, with a recurring cast that includes Tricia Helfer, Cooper Levy, Jordan Sledz, Ryan Northcott, Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz, Crystle Lightning, Melanie Scrofano, and Nikki Hallow. 

Spiridakos said the pilot is based on Track of the Cat, the first novel in the Anna Pigeon series: "I hope that audiences can really immerse themselves in the wilderness, which is definitely its own character. It's so stunningly beautiful. Every day we were working, and I looked around, pinching myself and wondering, 'How is this my life?' "
