Vince McMahon is getting in the ring for another scripted wrestling series.
NBCUniversal is developing Pinned, a drama set in the world of fictional wrestling promotion.
Craig O’Neill, exec producer of the recent CSI: Vegas sequel series and MacGyver, is writing and exec producing the project with Fox Sports reporter Tom Rinaldi and WWE chief McMahon.
The project is described as an “adrenalized” upstairs-downstairs soap that gives a behind-the-scenes look at a fictional wrestling promotion and the “unforgettable” characters that populate it. Pinned offers a front-row seat into the eccentric wrestling culture and the mayhem that exists between the locker room and the boardroom.
Pinned, which has secured a script sale, comes from UCP. It is currently not set up at a specific NBCU network or streamer, as per the company’s recent development moves.
WWE’s Kevin Dunn and Chris Kaiser also exec produce.
