A&E’s Next Drama Could Be About a Bipolar Cop Variety

A&E gave a pilot order to a drama about an LAPD detective who has bipolar disorder, reports Variety.

“The Quickening” would star Radha Mitchell (“Surrogates”) as a detective who can only do her job well if she doesn’t take her medication.

The drama was written by Jennifer Salt, an executive producer of FX's "Nip/Tuck."
