Robin Tunney Set to Star In ABC's Marcia Clark Drama THE FIX

The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Robin Tunney is set to star in the upcoming Marcia Cox drama pilot THE FIX alongside Scott Cohen and Breckin Meyer. The legal drama pilot from writers Elizabeth Crafts, Sarah Fain, and Marcia Clark

The Fix revolves around former prosecutor Maya Travis, who after losing the biggest case of her career and being shredded by the media, has left Los Angeles for a quiet life in rural Oregon. Eight years after her devastating defeat, the killer strikes again, forcing Maya to return to Los Angeles to confront him one more time.
