Jennifer Carpenter, co-star of Showtime’s recently concluded sure-he’s-a-serial-killer-but-come-on-give-him-a-break series Dexter, will star in a new USA Network pilot about American government workers operating in the Middle East. Titled Stanistan after the fictional country in which it’s set, the show is described as a drama, albeit one in which “State Department workers, covert CIA officers and journalists strike a delicate balance of danger and levity.”
