Fox Greenlights Hieroglyph

Pacific Rim writer Travis Beacham, Katherine Pope (New Girl), Peter Chernin, and Miguel Sapochnik are teaming up as executive producers on the action-adventure series Hieroglyph set in ancient Egypt. Fox has just given the series a 13 episode season one order, with Beacham writing the scripts and Sapochnik (Fringe) directing the first episode.
 
According to Fox, filming will begin in early 2014.
 
“We wanted to do a show about deceit, sex, intrigue in the court and fantastical goings-on – no better place to set that than ancient Egypt,” said Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment for FOX. “Travis Beacham has an inventive mind, and he has wrapped this all together in this intoxicating new drama.”
 
The Plot:
 
Set in ancient Egypt, where fantasy and reality intertwined, Hieroglyph follows a notorious thief who is plucked from prison to serve the Pharoah, navigating palace intrigue, seductive concubines, criminal underbellies and even a few divine sorcerers.
