Homeland alum David Harewood is reuniting with the Showtime series’ executive producers Howard Gordon, Alex Gansa and Alex Cary. Harewood has become the first actor cast in the CBS drama pilot Anatomy Of Violence, written and executive produced by Gordon, Gansa and Cary and directed by Mark Pellington. Inspired by the non-fiction book The Anatomy Of Violence: The Biological Roots Of Crime by Adrian Raine, the 20th TV-produced drama centers on Raines, a criminal psychologist with an expertise in sociopaths who partners with a young female detective with whom he shares a conflicted past. Harewood will play Alejo, Special Agent in Charge, celebrated profiler and Raines’ boss and friend. Harewood, repped by APA, Conway Van Gelder Grant and Authentic, just finished a two-season stint on Emmy-winning Homeland as CIA bigwig David Estes. He most recently filmed a supporting role in Paul Haggis’ The Third Person and is attached to play the title role in a Darrell Roodt-directed indie about singer/actor Paul Robeson.

So in their words another run at a criminal minds spinoff just with a different name
Will his character be pissy with the female lead about EVERYTHING? “I just killed a terrorist leader and stopped a proposed attack on American soil”. Sniffs, “yeah, whatever …”
Sounds painfully unoriginal. Love how his partner just has to be a younger woman who, no doubt, will be at odds with his character all the time.
CBS’ one good ‘cop’ show is Person of Interest. And that’s probably the most unique procedural show I’ve seen in years.
Actually it’s smart on their part.
1. Proven actor. Easy for Gordon and Gansa to know the quality they’re getting after his work on HOMELAND proved to be excellent.
2. It’s very similar in regard to the fact that he had a complex past with Carrie on HOMELAND and all but…
3. This is for CBS. We all know how they love their procedurals for the 40 and over crowd. Not all of these people have HBO.
4. So, it can be like HOMELAND 2.0 for network tv (not terrorism, but sociopaths…it’s still a hunt/chase theme).
5. So let’s take elements of a successful format with a familiar face and reach a group we may not be reaching being on HBO.
I, personally, enjoyed Harewood on HOMELAND and wasn’t ready to see him die. Hope this works out. The positive is that maybe networks are wanting to do business with quality showrunner/creators who are killing it on cable and our network fair’s quality may improve. I’m all for that jazz.
I’m glad to see Tamblyn back on a regular show. CBS has screwed up several shows in the recent past. They canceled Joan of Arcadia. The CSI franchise has been killed off with the cancellation of CSI Miami, and the downgrade in cast in CSI LV.
