Tradecraft: CBS Developing Spy Drama from Scorpion Producers

Deadline reports that CBS has bought Sentinels, as spy drama, from three producers on its hit show Scorpion--supervising producer Rob Pearlstein and executive producers Nick Santora and Nicholas Wootton. According to the trade, Pearlstein's script "shares the sensibility of Scorpion as a light, action procedural. It centers on the world’s worst news team who’s actually a cover for a secret government program that has highly trained spies masquerading as hapless reporters. They use their unfettered access all over the globe to take on harrowing missions and preserve world peace."
