Jenna Bush Hager, “Today” show host and daughter of former President George W. Bush, is set to invade the world of scripted TV.
According to NBC, the network greenlit a pilot for the new drama “Protection” from “Quantico” creator Josh Safran and Bush Hager. During an episode of “Today” on Jan. 14, Bush Hager confirmed her involvement with the show.
“Who knew I would ever do something like this, ladies and gentlemen?” she said. “We have been working on this for a while, but we are working on a show called 'Protection' along with Josh Safran and my colleague Ben Spector.”
“Protection” is about a U.S. Marshal who “falls in the line of duty" and "a seemingly cut-and-dry case turns into a deadly conspiracy as a family of law enforcement agents becomes the target of a mysterious assassin," according to the outlet’s description of the show.
