Rubicon is set to become AMC’s third drama series after Mad Men and Breaking Bad as they’ve recently given the order for twelve episodes on top of the pilot. The show follows a think tank analyst as he becomes increasingly aware of a global conspiracy. The project is inspired by a lot of the great paranoia-rich thrillers of the 1970s. Jason Horwitch (Medical Investigation) is the creator. The pilot was directed by Allen Coulter, who in recent history also did the pilots for Damages, Sons of Anarchy and Nurse Jackie. He’s also known for directing 12 episodes of The Sopranos. Rubicon stars James Badge Dale, Miranda Richardson, Lili Taylor, Dallas Roberts and Peter Gerety.
Rubicon should make its debut on AMC in 2010.
