HBO/Cinemax and The X Files alum
Frank Spotnitz are developing Sam Hunter, a
drama starring Melissa George to air on
Cinemax . A spinoff of Cinemax’s Hunted, the
action series sees George reprising her role as
Sam, a gutsy agent in the murky world of
private espionage. Now on the run from her
former employer, Sam has a price on her head
and a young daughter to protect. She must work as a freelance spy to find out
who wants her dead — and how it connects to the murder of her own mother.
Cinemax is planning to launch Sam Hunter as a four-hour miniseries, which
Spotnitz is currently writing. Cinemax has been looking to keep Hunted alive in
some form since partner BBC One last November opted not to renew the series
for a second season.
