Syfy

The Surrealtor

Tim Rozon has been cast as Roman, “the owner of The Roman Agency, his eponymous real estate firm specializing in “metaphysically engaged” properties. He has gained a whispered reputation as someone who could sell the haunted houses that nobody else could.”

Sarah Levy has been cast as Susan Ireland, “an enormously successful realtor. She is a realist who doesn’t believe in ghosts or hauntings.”

Adam Korson has been cast as Father Phil Orley, “a research specialist at The Roman Agency who decided to combine his keen research abilities with his understanding of spiritual matters.”

Maurice Dean Wint has been cast as August Ripley, “a technology specialist working at The Roman Agency who creates devices that can detect, evaluate and sometimes dispatch a home’s ethereal occupants.”

Savannah Basley has been cast as Zooey L’Enfant, “the office manager at The Roman Agency.”

Tennille Read has been cast as Megan Donovan, “a medical student who just inherited a house from her grandfather. As serious doubts creep in about her current relationship and the stress of medical school increases, she is looking to sell this new home.”

The Surrealtor’s plot synopsis: the series “follows realtor Nick Roman (Rozon) and an elite team of specialists that handle the cases no one else can: haunted and possessed houses that literally scare would-be buyers away. Researching, investigating and “fixing” the things that go bump in the night, the team works to create closure—and closings — even as they struggle with demons of their own.”

CBS All Access

Twenty Four Seven

T.I. has been cast as First Grade N.Y.P.D. Detective Derrick Parker, who “worked on some of the biggest criminal cases in rap history, from the shooting at Club New York to the first shooting of Tupac Shakur.”

The plot synopsis of the book the TV series is based on:

Throughout his career, Derrick Parker worked on some of the biggest criminal cases in rap history, from the shooting at Club New York, where Derrick personally escorted Jennifer Lopez to police headquarters, to the first shooting of Tupac Shakur.

Always straddling the fence between “po-po” and NYPD outsider, Derrick threatened police tradition to try to get the cases solved. He was the first detective to interview an informant offering a detailed account of Biggie Smalls’s murder. He protected one of the only surviving eyewitnesses to the Jam Master Jay murder and knows the identity of the killers as well as the motivation behind the shooting.

Notorious C.O.P. reveals hip-hop crimes that never made the paper—like the robbing of Foxy Brown and the first Hot 97 shooting—and answers some lingering questions about murders that have remained unsolved. The book that both the NYPD and the hip-hop community don’t want you to read, Notorious C.O.P. is the first insider look at the real links between crime and hip-hop and the inefficiencies that have left some of the most widely publicized murders in entertainment history unsolved.

Dallas Jackson is writing the screenplays for the TV series based on the book by Derrick Parker and Matt Diehl.
