Eva Longoria, Jason Blum Teaming up For Paranormal Drama Series ‘Zone of Silence’ on NBC
Low-budget horror maestro Jason Blum is teaming up again with Eva Longoria to invade the television airwaves and bring their brand of horror to the small screen with "Zone of Silence" on NBC.
According to Deadline, the series takes on a mysterious domestic version of he Bermuda Triangle, where things gets mysteriously lost and never get recovered. But this one is based on an area of the southwest that people lose their cell phone signals and all forms of electronic communications. Survival is as primitive as the earliest days of man when people enter it.
The basic story is that the area of Mexico's Mapimi Desert is the blackout zone, or "Zone of Silence." What brings the story to the attention of the ICE agency is when a group of their agents go missing while traveling through the area. A task force is then assembled to go out and find their missing agents, which could lead to horrible revelations that will take on a paranormal theme.
The serialized nature of the show will be the recurring theme of science not syncing up with the unexplained and each episode will be a dose of those two clashes in the viewers face. The search for the missing agents start to take a backseat to what the task force ends up dealing with and each episode means more and more is at stake.
Longoria has signed on to co-produce the project along with Blum and Eric Winter. There has been no indication who will be starring in the lead roles yet.
The show will be a co-production between Blum's Blumhouse Productions ("The Jinx") and Longoria's UnbeliEVAble Entertainment ("Hot and Bothered"). The entire project will be under the Universal TV umbrella and will air on NBC.
There has been no word yet on when this paranormal drama will go into production or premiere on the network.
