NBC has given a script commitment plus penalty to The Outsider, a legal drama thriller from The Art of More creator Chuck Rose, husband/wife producing duo Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, and Universal TV.
Written/executive produced by Rose, The Outsider is a legal thriller set in the powerful but often secretive world of the Supreme Court as seen through the eyes of their clerks, the young twentysomethings who struggle to balance their messy personal lives against the incredible demands of their jobs. When a street savvy public defender is suddenly offered the chance to be the Chief Justice’s newest clerk, he finds himself unwittingly embroiled in a dangerous web that reaches far beyond the halls of the Court.
