USA Network is Digging the Ladies with New Shows
It’s ladies’ year at USA Network. The top basic cable network has handed out its second series order to a female-centered drama this year, “Facing Kate.” “Kate,” toplined by Sarah Shahi, has been picked up for 11 episodes in addition to its 90-minute pilot and is being co-produced by Universal Cable Prods. and Universal Networks International. That makes it two-for-two for USA, which in January picked up to series the other pilot from its 2009 development cycle, the Piper Perabo starrer “Covert Affairs.” That means that USA will launch two new series for a second year in a row after unspooling “Royal Pains” and “White Collar,” both featuring male leads, in 2009.
