Dana Delany's Body Of Truth To Premiere On ABC This Fall

On the list of new series picked up by ABC for their Fall 2010 lineup is Body of Truth, which stars Dana Delany and follows a medical examiner who solves crimes.

Delany, whose most recent small-screen role was on Desperate Housewives will play Dr. Megan Hunt, a brilliant neurosurgeon who gets into a car accident that leaves her unable to continue operating. She takes a job working as a medical examiner, using her skills to figure out how the deceased met their demise.
