FOX Order Drama Series ‘The Partner’ Based on John Grisham’s Bestselling Book

Get ready, FOX has ordered new drama series, The Partner, based on John Grisham’s 1997 bestselling book.

The Partner, which has received a script commitment with penalty from the network, is a David vs. Goliath story about a betrayed lawyer. He was once a well-liked, well-paid young partner in a thriving Mississippi law firm. Then he stole $90 million from his own firm—and ran for his life. For four years, he evaded men who would stop at nothing to find him. Now he is coming home and an extraordinary trial is about to begin. Because Patrick Lanigan, the most reviled white-collar criminal of his time, knows something that no one else in the world knows. He knows the truth.

No word when the series will premiere or who will star in it, we’ll keep you up to date as more details are announced.
