US network Fox has given a March 1 debut date for its new drama Drive, one of several mid-season series that 20th Century Fox TV Distribution will be shopping at Natpe next week.
Drive is described as "an action-fuelled drama following a diverse group of Americans driving for their lives – or the lives of their loved ones - in a sinister, cross-country road race."
The drama follows the drivers, some of which have been coerced into racing while some are simply chasing a rumoured prize, each of which have their own stories to tell.
Created by Tim Minear (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) and Ben Queen, Drive is a 20th Century Fox TV production. Greg Yaitanes directed the pilot and is an executive producer of the series along with Minear and Queen.
Mid-season has traditionally been a strong suit for 20th Century Fox TV series, so the studio is also keeping its fingers crossed for The Winner, scheduled to premiere on March 17, 2007 on Fox.
The sitcom stars Rob Corddry (The Daily Show), in a Failure to Launch-style comedy that focuses on the life of a 'late bloomer' – ie. a 32-year-old guy who still lives with his parents.
Set in the mid-1990s, it follows Corddry's character, who experiences his teens some 20 years late, due to him staying at his parental home too long. Erinn Hayes (Everwood, Kitchen Confidential) plays his belated love interest.
The series also stars Linda Hart (The Insider, Tin Cup), Keir Gilchrist (A Lobster Tale) and Lenny Clarke (Rescue Me, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events).
The series is produced by 20th Century Fox Television and is executive produced by Seth MacFarlane (American Dad, Family Guy) and Ricky Blitt (Family Guy).
