Fox Orders 13 Episodes of New Series HIEROGLYPH

Fox has given a 13-episode order to another new series. This time, it goes to HIEROGLYPH, a show the network is dubbing “a fantastical action-adventure.” Production is scheduled to begin in early 2014.

So what is the series about? According to Fox, “Set in ancient Egypt, where fantasy and reality intertwined, HIEROGLYPH follows a notorious thief who is plucked from prison to serve the Pharoah, navigating palace intrigue, seductive concubines, criminal underbellies and even a few divine sorcerers.”

“We wanted to do a show about deceit, sex, intrigue in the court and fantastical goings-on – no better place to set that than ancient Egypt,” said Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment for FOX in a statement. “[Writer] Travis Beacham has an inventive mind, and he has wrapped this all together in this intoxicating new drama.”
