USA Network Orders Series Adaptation of John Grisham's 'The Rainmaker'
The legal drama, written by Michael Seitzman, marks USA Network's return to scripted originals.
- Based on Grisham's novel and the 1997 film, the series involves Lionsgate Television and Blumhouse Television.
- Michael Seitzman and Jason Richman co-wrote the pilot and serve as executive producers alongside Grisham and Jason Blum.
- The plot follows Rudy Baylor, a fresh law school graduate, uncovering conspiracies with his boss and paralegal.
- The project was initially part of a larger Grisham Universe concept but was later separated into individual series.
- This development aligns with USA Network's strategy to revive its scripted programming slate.
