Rhiannon Latimer has booked a role on Episode #102 of NBC’s upcoming alien drama series, ‘Debris’.
The network has handed out a series order for Debris, the alien drama starring Jonathan Tucker and Riann Steele.
Debris marks NBC’s first series to be picked up from its 2020 pilot crop. The show, from Fringe’s J.H. Wyman, was also the network’s first drama to be ordered to pilot and has quietly been a network favorite since.
The series about two agents from two different continents who investigate an alien spacecraft wreckage and its mysterious effects on humankind was able to complete roughly 80 percent of production before the novel coronavirus pandemic upended pilot season (and the world).
Debris, like fellow sci-fi drama La Brea, remained in contention at NBC when the network narrowed its pilot roster last week. Debris is NBC’s second drama order for the 2020-21 season and joins the Chris Meloni-led Law & Order: SVU spinoff.
Debris is a co-production between Legendary TV and Universal TV. Wyman serves as showrunner and exec produces alongside Jason Hoffs.
“Written by Wyman, Debris is said to be in the vein of The X-Files and Men In Black. In it, two agents, played by Steele and Tucker, from two different continents, and two different mindsets, must work together to investigate when wreckage from a destroyed alien spacecraft has mysterious effects on humankind.”
The series is set to premiere on NBC in March 2021.
