vows to continue her practice with the help of a young brilliant
attorney she chooses to be her right hand. Sony TV is producing the
project, with Ripley executive producing alongside Sony TV-based
producers Deborah Spera and Maria Grasso.Bassett, who just wrapped the feature Olympus Has Fallen, starred in Fox’s Karyn Usher spy drama pilot last season. Gersh reps both Ripley and Bassett. Bassett is managed Lighthouse Entertainment, Ripley by Mosaic Media.
