USA Network's Covert Affairs

[Pavan]

I'm looking forward to this new drama. Why? One, it is similar to Alias. And two, it stars the gorgeous Piper Perabo! It is coming in July to USA Network.

Here is some info:

COVERT AFFAIRS (NEW SERIES)

USA's newest series COVERT AFFAIRS stars Piper Perabo ("Coyote Ugly," "Beverly Hills Chihuahua"), Christopher Gorham ("Ugly Betty," "Jake 2.0") Sendhil Ramamurthy ("Heroes"), , Kari Matchett ("Invasion") and Anne Dudek ("House," "Mad Men"), with recurring guest star Peter Gallagher ("The O.C.," "American Beauty"). COVERT AFFAIRS will premiere with a 90-minute episode followed by 11 one-hour episodes. In COVERT AFFAIRS, we meet Annie Walker (Perabo), a young CIA trainee who is thrust into the inner sanctum of the agency when she is unexpectedly promoted to field operative. While it appears that she has been plucked from obscurity for her exceptional linguistic skills, there may be something or someone from her past that her CIA bosses are really after. Gorham plays Auggie Anderson, a CIA military intelligence agent, blinded while on assignment, and Annie's guide in this world of bureaucracy, excitement and intrigue. Dudek plays Annie's older sister, a married mother of two. Matchett plays Joan, head of the CIA's Domestic Protection Division and wife of Gallagher's Arthur, Director of Clandestine Services for the CIA. From Universal Cable Productions, COVERT AFFAIRS is executive produced by Doug Liman (the "Bourne" trilogy, "Heist") and Dave Bartis ("The O.C.") through Dutch Oven and written and co-executive produced by Matt Corman ("Deck the Halls") and Chris Ord ("Deck the Halls"). Tim Matheson (USA's BURN NOTICE, PSYCH, "Criminal Minds") directed the pilot.

No night and time has been announced yet, though. I'm guessing either Tues or Wed at 9? Here is how USA's original schedule looks:

Tuesdays
10pm Law & Order: Criminal Intent / White Collar (7/20?)

Wednesdays
10pm In Plain Sight / Psych (Aug. 4?)

Thursdays
9pm Burn Notice (June 3)
10pm Royal Pains (June 3)

The ones with the question marks are tentative. I think Covert Affairs will air Tuesdays with White Collar.
