Scream franchise star Neve Campbell, won’t be back for Scream 6, has found her next role. Campbell is set to star in David E. Kelly‘s upcoming series “Avalon.”
The Series is set “in the city of Avalon on Catalina Island, where L.A. Sheriff’s Department Detective Nicole “Nic” Searcy (Campbell) heads up a small office. Catalina has a local population that serves more than 1 million tourists a year, and each day when the ferries arrive, hundreds of potential new stories enter the island. Detective Searcy is pulled into a career-defining mystery that will challenge everything she knows about herself and the island.”
Deadline states that “Campbell’s Nic is the lone detective assigned to the LA County Sheriff’s substation on Catalina Island. Somewhat inscrutable, Nic isn’t easily intimidated and holds firm to her morals. Ironically, her strong moral compass is what got her banished to Catalina’s biggest city, Avalon. It’s a gig no career-driven LA cop wants, but Nic soon discovers her valuable detective skills are needed more on Avalon than she could have imagined.”
David E. Kelly has a missive talent for creating amazing series such as “Mr. Mercedes,” Big Little Lies,” “Big Sky,” “Chicago Hope,” “The Practice,” and “Boston Public,” to name a few.
Based on Michael Connelly’s short story, “Avalon” is from A+E Studios and 20th Television. We’ll let you know when the premiere date is announced.
