The show that I will be following this semester is ABC’s new primetime, 10-episode, straight-to-series show, 10 Days in the Valley. The logline for this program is, “an overworked television producer and single mother in the middle of a fractious separation; young daughter goes missing in the middle of the night, Jane’s world – and her controversial police series – implodes.” The program features Kyra Sedgwick as Jane Sadler, and is written and created by Tassie Cameron. Cameron based the plot for 10 Days in the Valley off of a reoccurring nightmare that she was having about her daughter being taken from her in the middle of the night while she’s working late. 10 Days in the Valley is being produced by Skydance Television.

Ten Days in the Valley “has everything: it’s a thriller, it’s a taut, exciting love story and it has the kind of character our audience loves, a strong, powerful woman who is also dangerously flawed” according to President of ABC Entertainment Channing Dungey. 10 Days in the Valley premieres Sunday, October 1 at 10 pm, in a time slot that competes with NBC’s Sunday Night Football and CBS’ Madam Secretary. From this, it’s practical to assume that 10 Days in the Valley will engage a more female-skewed audience (as most men will be watching football during this time) and likely ages 25-34, 35-49.
