Deadline is saying Kevin Bacon has landed a lead role in a television series cooked up by Scream and The Vampire Diaries‘ Kevin Williamson. Bacon is going to play an FBI profiler who finds himself in the middle of an investigation involving a cult of serial killers.
The series doesn’t have a name yet and, so far, only the pilot is going into production.
Deadline, however, states that if it does go to series, there will only be 15 episodes a season as opposed to 22. This will allow Bacon to continue doing big screen work.
The actor recently wrapped R.I.P.D. with Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges.
