The small-screen adaptation is from Paramount TV, which made the film, and Universal Cable Productions.

Based on Stephen Hunter’s novel Point of Impact, the show features Phillippe as a marksman who returns to action after a plot to kill the US president emerges.

Fellow Hollywood A-lister Mark Wahlberg, who played Phillippe’s role in the film, is among the exec producers alongside the TV version’s writer John Hlavin.

Shooter is the latest addition to USA’s slate, which also includes Falling Water from Blake Masters and the late Henry Bromell, while pilots include Brooklyn Animal Control and Poor Richard’s Almanack.
