Ten Days In the Valley: ABC Orders Kyra Sedgwick Drama Series

The Ten Days In the Valley TV show has been ordered to series at ABC. Per Deadline, The Closer‘s Kyra Sedgwick will star as single mom and overworked TV producer Jane Sadler, whose daughter disappears one night. Production is slated for 2017.

The 10-episode first season of Ten Days In the Valley comes from Tassie Cameron and Skydance Television.

She will serve as showrunner and will executive produce with Sedgwick, Jill Littman and Skydance TV’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Marcy Ross.

Here is more, from Deadline:

Ten Days In the Valley follows Jane Sadler (Sedgwick), an overworked television producer and single mother in the middle of a fractious separation. When her young daughter goes missing in the middle of the night, Jane’s world — and her controversial police series — implodes. Life imitates art: everything’s a mystery, everyone has a secret, and no one can be trusted.

“Ten Days in the Valley has everything: it’s a thriller, it’s a taut, exciting love story and it has the kind of character our audience loves, a strong, powerful woman who is also dangerously flawed,” said Channing Dungey, President of ABC Entertainment. “We’re thrilled to have the amazing Kyra Sedgwick play this compelling role.”

Added Sedgwick, “Playing Jane Sadler is exactly the deep and emotionally charged role I was searching for in a series.”

When Skydance Television began developing Ten Days In the Valley as a TV series, Demi Moore was attached as lead.
