Despite being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze has been cleared by his doctors to work, and A&E Network has picked up The Beast, according to THR. The show “centers on an unorthodox but effective FBI veteran (Swayze) who trains a new partner (Fimmel) in his hard-edged and psychologically clever style of agenting while being pursued by a secret Internal Affairs team.”
Production will begin this summer in Chicago, with a tentative premiere set for early 2009. A&E ordered 13 hour-long episodes.
