ABC Developing Military Procedural ‘Devil’s Ranch’ From ‘Will Trent’ Scribe Rebecca Murga; Heidi Cole McAdams Set As Showrunner

Exclusive: ABC is developing Devil’s Ranch, a one-hour military procedural from Will Trent‘s Rebecca Murga.
ABC preemptively acquired off a pitch from Murga, who is writing. Heidi Cole McAdams (Death and Other Details) is set as showrunner. The drama follows a group of ex-military personnel who operate a ranch on the Texas-Mexico border by day and conduct various missions across the globe by night.
20th Television is the studio. McAdams will exec produce alongside Trevor Engelson for Underground, with Underground’s Diego Rey serving as co-executive producer.
A military veteran who’s completed two tours in Afghanistan, Murga has history with ABC and 20th, as a writer on the last two seasons of their popular police procedural Will Trent. She’s also written on Apple TV+’s sports drama Swagger and has set up a coming-of-age Rotc drama at Amazon, which Spike Lee will direct and exec produce.
