EXCLUSIVE: Emmy nominee Blair Singer (Bull) has landed a script commitment at Fox for Cold Blooded Liar, a one-hour procedural mystery thriller series based on the international bestseller of the same name by Karen Rose. Singer will serve as writer and executive producer on the project.

The development title is set in postcard-perfect San Diego, where strong-willed homicide detective Kit McKittrick uses her ferocious determination and heightened empathy from her foster kid background to solve the most chilling murder cases the city has ever seen. As she confronts some of the darkest corners of humanity, she meets a handsome, insightful psychologist named Sam Reeves, and together, their partnership develops into a transformative bond.

Marking the first title in Rose’s San Diego Case Files series, the novel was published in 2023. A RITA Award winner known for her work in the romantic thriller genre who has published more than 30 books to date, Rose will serve as a consultant on the series. Fox is the network, and Fox Entertainment Studios is the studio. No showrunner is attached at present.

Singer most recently was co-executive producer on the final season of Bull on CBS, and previously was a co-executive producer on Fox’s Filthy Rich, starring Kim Cattrall. He was the supervising producer on the Netflix show What/If, created by Mike Kelley and starring Renée Zellweger, and was the executive producer and showrunner of the Mark Gordon-produced Youth & Consequences for YouTube Premium, which received a digital Emmy nomination for best drama in 2019.

Other television credits for Singer include Weeds, Monk, The Mysteries of Laura and Fairly Legal, to name a few. As a playwright, his satirical play Matthew Modine Saves the Alpacas, starring Modine, was seen at the Geffen Theatre. A Juilliard grad currently serving as an associate professor of television studies at Columbia University’s School of the Arts, he’s repped by Paradigm and Andrew Galker at Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
