Actress Rosario Dawson and “Walking Dead” producer Gale Anne Hurd are developing a supernatural drama for A&E based on the graphic novel O.C.T. (Occult Crimes Taskforce), created by Dawson and David Atchison. “Homicide: Life on the Street” writer Jorge Zamacona will pen the pilot.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dawson will star as Sophia Ortiz, a new member of the NYPD’s O.C.T., a bureau “established after the Civil War to make the New York City streets safe from practitioners of black magic, demons from another dimension and all manner of supernatural malcontents.”

Dawson is best known to genre fans for her roles in Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof and Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City. Additional creds include D.J. Caruso’s tech-thriller Eagle Eye, Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black II and Chris Columbus’ Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
