NBC to Turn John Grisham's The Firm Into Series?

NBC continues to work on burnishing its ratings with a big name brand. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network is negotiating with EOne to broadcast a 22-episode series based on John Grisham’s The Firm.

The two-hour pilot script, written by Lukas Reiter, picks up 10 years after the movie left off, with Mitch McDeere having just emerged from the Federal Witness Protection Program after bringing down a Memphis law firm operated by the mob. But he and his family soon find their lives are still in danger.
