Drama writer Michael Seitzman is staying at ABC Studios with a new two-year overall deal. Under the seven-figure pact, he will continue to develop for the studio. Two shows he developed at ABC Studios during the 2008-09 season, Empire State and House Rules, were picked up to pilot by ABC and CBS, respectively. This development season, he wrote an adaptation of the hit British series Spooks aka MI-5 for ABC and ABC Studios outside of his overall deal with the studio. On the feature side, the WME-repped Seitzman penned the 2005 film North Country.

It’s great to see an interest Matthew Reilly’s books, as Jack West jr is an Australian character, the perfect actor for the role would be Australian actor Jason Clarke, who’s role in the Fox TV series Chicago Code was brilliant.
