News > Lifetime has enlisted "Army Wives" with a series pickup
December 1, 2006
Via :The cable network has ordered 13 episodes of the ensemble drama starring Kim Delaney and Catherine Bell. "Wives," from the Mark Gordon Co. and Touchstone Television, premieres in March.
The series, filmed on location in Charleston, S.C., centers on a diverse group of women -- and one man -- living with their families on an active Army post and the pressures on those left behind while their partners serve their country. It also stars Sally Pressman, Brigid Brannagh, Brian McNamara, Sterling K. Brown, Wendy Davis and Drew Fuller.
Lifetime Networks president of entertainment Susanne Daniels said the series explores a world not currently portrayed on television.
"It's very much about the Army wives' world of the Army base and how the wives are dealing with their partner or spouse off fighting the war," she said. "It's not about the war itself; it's not a political statement."
