“We knew when we saw the exceptional pilot and immersed ourselves into the incredible world of intrigue that Tim and Gideon have created with DIG that we wanted more,” said USA President Chris McCumber. “With its multi-layered story, international locations, cinematic production and immensely talented cast, DIG promises to be a must-watch event series.”

Created by Tim Kring (Heroes) and Gideon Raff (Homeland), DIG focuses on FBI agent Peter Connelly (Jason Isaacs), who takes a job in Israel to escape his personal demons and give himself the type of fresh start that he needed. However, while attempting to solve the death of a young American, Peter discovers a conspiracy that goes back thousands of years and threatens to change the course of history as we know it.

In addition to Isaacs, DIG also stars Anne Heche (Save Me), Regina Taylor (The Unit), David Costabile (Low Winter Sun), Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under), and Omar Metwally (Non-Stop).

The move to delay Dig won’t have an impact on USA’s fall schedule, as the show didn’t have a concrete premiere date as of yet. The network recently announced that the six-episode final season of White Collar would premiere Thursday, November 6th, leading into the second half of Covert Affairs‘ fifth season, while the fates of Rush, Satisfaction, Playing House, and Royal Pains have yet to be decided.

Created by Tim Kring (Heroes) and Gideon Raff (Homeland), Dig stars Jason Isaacs (Awake) as FBI Agent Peter Connelly, who uncovers a history-changing conspiracy while investigating the murder of a woman in Jersualem. The series, which USA is reportedly considering order additional episodes of, also stars Anne Heche (Save Me), Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under), Omar Metwally (Harry’s Law), Angela Bettis (May), and Regina Taylor (The Unit).

The post USA Event Series Dig Pushed to 2015 appeared first on TVHackr.

Anne Heche has signed on to play Lynn,  the head of the FBI office in Jerusalem, and the boss – and occasional lover – of Jason Isaacs’s character, Peter.  While investigating the murder of a young female archaeologist, Peter uncovers a conspiracy 2000 years old.

Heche’s character is described as tough and unafraid to rip into her team when they slip up, though she also has a sense of humor and softer side.

Heche recently finished a brief run on NBC’s Save Me.  Her other televisio credits include Men In Trees, Hung, and Lifetime movie Gracie’s Choice.  

Dig comes from co-creators Tim Kring of Heroes and Gideon Raff of Homeland, who executive produce with Gail Berman and Gene Stei of Tecumseh Productions.  The project is set to film in Israel and air later this year.
