Fox has given a script commitment plus penalty to an hour-long female-focused FBI drama from former Queen Sugar showrunner Monica Macer, Thruline and 20th Century Fox TV.

Written by Macer, the Untitled FBI Women Project (aka The Tribe) is inspired by journalist and author Doug Stanton’s interviews of women in law enforcement.

The series explores the personal lives of our heroines juxtaposed with the demands of protecting America from its greatest threats.

Macer served as showrunner in Season 2 of OWN’s Queen Sugar. She previously joined Nashville in Season 2 as a supervising producer rising to co-executive producer on Season 4, its last season on ABC. She also was a staff writer on the first season of Lost. Her other writing/producing credits include Teen Wolf and Deception. She’s repped by ICM Partners, Rain Management and Del Shaw Moonves.
