Piper Perabo is set to take on the lead role in USA Network’s upcoming spy thriller Covert Affairs.
She will play Annie Walker, a CIA trainee who speaks six languages and excels at any endeavor she undertakes. She joins the CIA after going through a bad breakup with her boyfriend who appears to be of particular interest to her bosses.
The project, quite surprisingly, hasn’t even received a firm pilot order yet, though the green light is expected in a couple of weeks. It has been written by Matt Corman and Chris Ord.
They are now looking to cast the other lead role – Auggie Anderson, a blind tech expert who helps Parebo’s character in her assignments.
