The network placed a straight-to-series order for a new drama series adapted from the bestseller. The first 13 episodes of "Zoo" are slated to air during summer 2015. Encouraged by the success of "Under The Dome," the thriller series adapted from a Stephen King novel and produced by Steven Spielberg, CBS continues to mine the vein of popular fiction with its next adaptation. With over 260 million copies sold worldwide, James Patterson is among the most popular thriller writers on the planet.
