Scream star Neve Campbell has been roped in to headline David E Kelly drama series Avalon, set at network ABC. According to entertainment website Deadline, the show is based on Michael Connelly’s short story.

Avalon, which received a straight-to-series order from ABC, takes place in the city of Avalon on Catalina Island, where Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Detective Nicole “Nic” Searcy (Campbell) heads up a small office.

“Catalina has a local population that serves more than 1 million tourists a year, and each day when the ferries arrive, hundreds of potential new stories enter the island. Detective Searcy is pulled into a career-defining mystery that will challenge everything she knows about herself and the island,” the plotline reads.
