New series in focus: ABC's 'The River'

The trio of stars from Fox's quickly canceled 2010 drama "Lone Star" — James Wolk, Adrianne Palicki and Eloise Mumford — all had roles in 2011 pilots. And for a while there, it looked like it would be a strikeout for the trio.

But while Wolk's "Georgetown" and Palicki's "Wonder Woman" bit the dust, Mumford's "The River" survived to make the ABC midseason schedule. Going by the intensity of the clip above, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, it's not hard to see why.

The mystery offers Bruce Greenwood as a famed explorer missing in the Amazon, with Mumford co-starring alongslide Joe Anderson, Paul Blackthorne, Paulina Gaitan, Leslie Hope, Shaun Parkes, Thomas Kretschmann and Daniel Zacapa.

Steven Spielberg, Daryl Frank, Justin Falvey, Michael Green (the showrunner), Oren Peli, Zack Estrin, Jason Blum and Steven Schneider exec produce for ABC Studios.
