USA is revisiting science fiction with a new show from Walking Dead producer Gale Anne Hurd, called Horizon. The show, set during the Second World War, will follow a secretary at the FBI as she investigates the death of her husband, the disappearance of a girl, and Nazi spies in the U.S. "Anybody who's a producer of Terminator 2 I'm a little bit in awe of," network co-president Jeff Wachtel told Adweek. "What you're seeing in Horizon is our desire to step into new areas and in new ways."

The 2013-14 season will also see USA's very first original sitcoms, which the network will launch using syndicated episodes of ABC's hit, Modern Family.
