Dwayne Johnson & Jack Ryan Boss' New TV Show
Gives Off Strong James Cameron Vibes
--------------------------------------------
ABC is developing a new show with Dwayne Johnson's production
company and Jack Ryan's showrunner. The crime drama will be set
in New Orleans, a city surrounded by water, and is set to
deliver a James Cameron-esque deep-sea adventure.

According to Deadline, Jack Ryan's showrunner Steven Kane is
currently working on Dive. Reportedly, 20th Television and
Johnson's production studio, Seven Bucks, are also attached to
the project. The production company's credits include Red One,
Black Adam, Jumanji, Ballers, Young Rock, and The Titan Games.
Further, executive producer Kristina Sorenson has also joined
the project.

However, Dive's casting is still pending, as it is in early
development, according to the source. In a recent interview,
Kane alluded to the upcoming show, saying, "If this is
successful, it could be franchised."

What is Dive about
ABC is known for airing shows based on emergency services, such
as The Rookie and 9-1-1. The upcoming project is set in a
similar tone, with a change in the backdrop setting. According
to the source, Dive will follow an elite team of police divers
and investigators who solve crimes that begin where the surface
ends, which is underwater.

The show will mark Steven Kane's return to ABC, after previously
working as a writer for an episode of J.J. Abrams' Alias. Apart
from working as a showrunner for the fourth and final season of
Prime Video's Jack Ryan, he also served as showrunner for
Paramount+'s adaptation of Halo.

Kane also has writing credits for the two adaptations. His other
writing credits include The Last Ship, The Last Ship:
Dr. Scott's Video Journal, The Closer, NCIS, Without a Trace,
and Major Crimes. As of now, he is also developing an
international thriller project set in Europe and a series based
on his upcoming graphic novel.

Since Dive is still in the early stages of development, no major
details have been revealed yet. However, more details, such as
casting news and additional crew information, are expected soon.
