After co-starring in Visions, Eva Longoria (pictured) will executive produce a genre-themed drama project, which has been set up at NBC, says Deadline.
“Zone Of Silence” is “based on a phenomenon/urban myth in the Mapimí desert area of Mexico where radio signals supposedly don’t travel, making for a total communications blackout.”
“Zone Of Silence,” written by Rashad Raisani (NBC’s “Allegiance”), focuses on the area acting like a domestic Bermuda Triangle, an invisible interference which appears in the southwest and not only wreaks havoc on communications but is central to key myths, folklore and legends.
When a group of ICE agents go missing under odd circumstances within the “zone”, a task force is formed to find them. Science clashes with the unexplained on a weekly basis while the larger search to explain the disappearance continues.
