USA Gets Political with Greg Berlanti Miniseries

USA has ordered a six-hour political miniseries from Brothers & Sisters and Dirty Sexy Money producer Greg Berlanti.
Slated to premiere in the summer, Political Animals will focus on Elaine Barrish, a divorced former first lady and current secretary of state (hmm, sounds familiar, no?) who struggles to keep her family together as she deals with the State Department crises. She strikes an unlikely friendship with Susan Berg, a journalist who had spent her career tearing Elaine down.
