(NewsNation) — “Today” show host Jenna Bush Hager is venturing into the world of scripted television.
Bush Hager confirmed on her Instagram Stories, sharing a screenshot from Deadline that she’s producing NBC drama “Protection,” with the network ordering a pilot.
“What a day!!!” She wrote on Instagram.
Former President George W. Bush’s daughter will be producing the show alongside Josh Safran, who created the show “Quantico,” according to Deadline.
The show is about a U.S. Marshal who “falls in the line of duty” and “a seemingly cut-and-dry case turns into a deadly conspiracy as a family of law enforcement agents becomes the target of a mysterious assassin,” according to Deadline’s description of the show.
“Protection” will fall under the first-look deal Bush Hager has with Universal Studio Group for her production company, Thousand Voices.
Bush Hager first joined the “Today” show in 2009 as a correspondent; she currently hosts the new show “Today with Jenna & Sheinelle.”
