Jenna Bush Hager simply dropped main information about her newest undertaking exterior of NBC’s Today.

Bush Hager’s schedule has been busy lately with high-profile superstar interviewsengaged on new tasks via her book imprintThousand Voices Books, and growing a TV pilot with NBC. On the Thursday, April 30, episode of Today With Jenna & SheinelleBush Hager shared new details about the way forward for his upcoming scripted present.

“We have a pilot at NBC, which is really exciting. We’ve shot it,” she advised Sheinelle Jones. “We’ll find out this week, next week, if it’s gonna get picked up. It’s either called Protection or In the Line of Fire. But Peter Krausewho was in Six Feet Underis starring in it, [and] Hope Davis.”

Behind-the-scenes photographs had been displayed on the present, together with a snap of the solid filming and a pic of Bush Hager on set along with her fellow govt producers, Joshua Safran and Ben Spector.

“It’s this kind of really funny, scandal-the thing is [show]. It has a little bit of a White House twist, so I brought some of that,” Bush Hager — who’s the daughter of former President George W. Bush —shared. “[There’s] a little romance, but [also] family drama, which I think we’re all kind of desperate for, with some mystery.”

Now that her busy schedule is starting to settle down, Bush Hager stated she’s going to take a while to prioritize her household. “I have been working a lot because this has been shooting, and then I had these big interviews, and then, all the book stuff,” she stated. “And so, this morning, when I woke up, I thought, ‘OK. The next couple weeks, the next couple months, it’s kid-focused.’” (Bush Hager shares her three kids — Mila, Poppy, and Hal — along with her husband, Henry Hager.)

Back in January, NBC announced that Bush Hager would govt produce the brand new present Protection via her manufacturing firm, Thousand Voices. “When a US Marshal falls in the line of duty, an apparently cut-and-dry case turns into a deadly conspiracy as a family of law enforcement agents becomes the target of a mysterious murder,” reads the present’s description. “Bridging personal differences and crossing professional boundaries, the Thornhill family must use the expertise from a lifetime of protecting civilians and politicians to protect one another and bring the killer to justice… even if it means betraying their sworn code.”

Bush Hager shared her pleasure for the present within the January 14 episode of Jenna & Sheinellestating, “Who knew I might ever do one thing like this, women and gents? It’s about completely different ranges of regulation enforcement, some primarily based on [the] Secret Service. So, y’all know I learn about that. And it is a thriller, and I joined all of the pitches as a result of each time, to look at these typically jaded executives’ — not all of you — faces drop with the twist. The twist is so good.”

In the March 11 episode of The Kelly Clarkson ShowBush Hager referred to as the present a “tribute” to Secret Service members who “sacrificed a lot to hang out with my family and me.” She jokingly added, “And I never hooked up with my Secret Service men. …I should have done it!” Host Kelly Clarksonin the meantime, stated a Secret Service romance was a “missed opportunity” for Bush Hager.
