By  | 

As we gear up for USA Network’s new, original mini series, Dig, creators Tim Kring and Gideon Raff take us behind the scenes to the making of this much anticipated venture. Take a look!

What’s it about?

The action thriller “DIG” tells the story of a murder mystery set against the backdrop of modern day Jerusalem, a city shrouded in ancient intrigue.  FBI agent Peter Connelly (Golden Globe nominee Jason Isaacs, “Awake”) has had his fair share of heartbreak.  Anxious to leave his personal demons behind, Peter takes a job stationed in Israel under the guidance of his new boss, and occasional lover, Lynn Monahan (Emmy Award winner Anne Heche, “Save Me”).  When he sets out to solve the murder of a young American, Peter soon finds himself embroiled in an international mystery that delves into the Holy Land’s darkest secrets.  What he discovers is a conspiracy thousands of years in the making that threatens to change the course of history.  While Peter races to figure out what it all means, he quickly finds that he may not be the only one searching for answers.

The series also stars Alison Sudol (A Fine Frenzy, “Transparent”), David Costabile (“Breaking Bad”), Screen Actors Guild Award winner Richard E. Grant (“Downton Abbey”), Golden Globe Award winner Regina Taylor (“The Unit”), Emmy Award nominee Lauren Ambrose (“Six Feet Under”), Tony Award nominee Omar Metwally (“Non-Stop”) and Ori Pfeffer (“World War Z”).

Created and executive produced by Tim Kring (“Heroes”) and Gideon Raff (“Homeland”), “DIG” is from Universal Cable Productions (UCP) and was developed by Keshet, in association with Gail Berman (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) of The Jackal Group and Gene Stein (“Deception”).  Keshet’s Avi Nir (“Homeland”), Alon Shtruzman and Karni Ziv also serve as executive producers.

DIG premieres on Thursday, March 5 at 10/9c. Only on USA Network.
