Fox, Imagine on 'FBI' case

August 08, 2007 After exploring the world of the CIA with "24," Fox and Imagine Television have teamed for a new drama about the FBI, which has received a series commitment from the network. "FBI" is the second drama project to receive a series commitment from Fox in the past week, joining "The Oaks," as broadcast networks continue their midsummer buying frenzy in anticipation of a potential writers strike (HR 8/6). Penned by feature writer Chap Taylor ("Changing Lanes"), "FBI" reflects the changing model of law enforcement post-Sept. 11 and centers on an Iraq War vet who is appointed as the new head of the FBI's Critical Incidents Response Group -- a division involved in a range of cases, including kidnappings, hostage negotiations, hostage rescue and evidence collection.
