FOX, ITV, Shaw Pick Up Supernatural Drama HOUDINI AND DOYLE

Deadline writes that FOX, ITV and Shaw Media have made a straight-to-series order for supernatural crime drama HOUDINI AND DOYLE.

HOUDINI AND DOYLE follows "two of the great characters of the twentieth century -- Harry Houdini, master magician, escape artists and paranormal debunker -- and Arthur CONAN Doyle, creator of the greatest detective of all time, and a paranormal aficionado" who "grudgingly join forces to investigate crimes with a supernatural slant. Although they're both rich, famous, and brilliant, they're the original odd couple -- HOUDINI believing in nothing, Doyle in everything."

The series is created by THE LIBRARIAN's David Titcher and HOUSE's David Shore and David Hoselton. Pitcher and Hoselton wrote the script and will also executive produce with Shore.
