The project, helmed by 'World War Z' director Marc Forster revolves around an outbreak that pushes its characters to extremes, revealing the best - and very worst - humanity has to offer, reported Aceshowbiz.
Outbreak refers to a sudden occurrence of something unwelcome, such as war or disease.
The drama reportedly starts when a woman exhibits mysterious symptoms, and she and her loved ones find themselves at the centre of an epidemic with global consequences.
Meanwhile, across the world, an FBI agent investigates a seemingly unrelated terrorist attack that leads him to the brink of madness.
Nora Grossman and Ido Ostrowsky will also executive produce the series, with Jillian Kugler as co-executive producer.
The first season of the drama will consist of 10 episodes. The premiere date is yet to be announced.
