ABC chief Steve McPherson developed 'Race' when he ran Touchstone Television, and he has reportedly wanted to develop a new reality series with Bruckheimer and van Munster ever since.
At this point, it's not clear if 'Catch Me' has been greenlit for more than just a pilot.
Bruckheimer's list of TV credentials is an impressive one, including the 'CSI' franchise and the new 'Miami Medical.' Bruckheimer is currently working on new dramas 'Chase' for NBC and 'The Whole Truth' for ABC. Van Munster also developed 'Oprah's Big Give' and 'Profiles From the Front Line.'
