TORONTO — Producers of a potential new sci-fi series for USA Network have tapped Quebec filmmaker Yves Simoneau to direct the pilot in Toronto.
Horizon was developed by Gale Anne Hurd, one of the executive producers of the AMC hit The Walking Dead.
Set during World War II, Horizon focuses on a woman who uncovers evidence that her husband was killed during a battle with a space ship.
