Eisendrath on a Fox crime spree

September 26, 2007 John Eisendrath has been named executive producer/showrunner on Fox's drama series "The FBI" and has teamed with producer Marty Adelstein for a drama based on the British series "Ghost Squad," which has been sold to Fox with a significant penalty attached to it. "FBI," a co-production with 20th TV-based Imagine TV, reflects the changing model of law enforcement post-Sept. 11 and centers on an Iraq War veteran 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. Eisendrath will serve as an executive producer alongside Taylor, Brian Grazer and David Nevins.
