Kevin Bacon has taken the lead role in a planned TV series by Scream and The Vampire Diaries writer Kevin Williamson. The pilot, produced under FOX, will see Bacon play an FBI profiler who finds himself in the middle of an investigation involving a cult of serial killers.

The as-of-yet unnamed series will have a fifteen-episode season if it does go to series, so Bacon can continue his film work.
