Diplomatic Immunity is headed to USA Network. The cable network has given the medical drama a straight-to-series order.

USA Network revealed the following about the series:

“On the heels of the record-breaking premiere of freshman drama Anna Pigeon, USA Network announced today the straight-to-series greenlight of the new scripted original Diplomatic Immunity. From FOX Entertainment Studios, the new hour-long medical drama is written by Matt Corman & Chris Ord (Covert Affairs, Daredevil: Born Again), who will executive produce and serve as showrunners. The series will be produced by FOX Entertainment Studios and distributed internationally by FOX Entertainment Global.

Diplomatic Immunity centers on a young American doctor who is suddenly assigned to the medical office at the U.S. Embassy in Rome. He finds himself encountering challenging medical cases that require him to navigate diplomacy, government personalities and geopolitical situations – all while managing the romantic entanglements set against the thrill of a new life in a new country.

“USA Network has always been a home for compelling, character-driven storytelling, and Diplomatic Immunity delivers that with a fresh, global point of view,” said Val Boreland, President of Entertainment, Versant. “We’re thrilled to reunite with Matt & Chris on this smart drama that blends high-stakes medical cases, international intrigue and romance in a way that feels perfectly at home on the network.”

“This is an amazing full-circle moment for us. To be reunited with all the talented folks at USA is an absolute dream and the brilliant team at FOX are the perfect studio partners for this Roman adventure,” said Matt Corman and Chris Ord.”

Additional details for the series will be announced later.
