NBC is developing<\/a> a television series inspired by former Texas state Senator and failed gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis according to Deadline.<\/p>\n

Davis herself will executive produce the combination drama-comedy alongside Jennifer Cecil, the as-yet-untitled show’s writer. It will reportedly follow “a female Democratic senator who, after losing the Texas governor\u2019s race, gets\u00a0her world turned upside down.”<\/p>\n

“In the vein of The\u00a0Good Wife<\/em>,” Deadline’s report continues, “while she pieces her pride back together, she goes to work in the law firm of her best friend \u2014 a black male Republican \u2014 and discovers that with no political future to protect, she can unshackle her inner badass.”<\/p>\n

As Live Action News has previously covered<\/a>, Davis rose to prominence in pro-abortion circles after filibustering a bill to ban late-term abortions, a position in which polling showed 62% of Texans disagreed with her. She eventually lost the governorship to Republican Greg Abbot by twenty points, and lost female Texans by nine.<\/p>\n

In response to the announcement, National Review’s Jim Geraghty quipped<\/a>, “An NBC drama about Wendy Davis? That show will be lucky if it lasts a trimester.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
