The pilot for the series is being produced by ABC Studios and written by Jason Richman and Ruben Fleischer. Stumptown tells the story of Dex Parios, a former army vet working as a private investigator in Portland, Oregon. The sharp-witted PI has a complicated history. According to the Deadline story;

Smulders’ Dex is a whip-smart, hard-luck heroine you can’t help but get behind. Once a decorated Military Intelligence officer overseas, Dex is now back home in Portland, Oregon, unable to hold down a steady job, spinning her wheels, running up gambling debts, waiting for trouble to catch up with her — and so it does.

Richman and Fleischer will executive produce along with writer Greg Rucka and Matthew Southwork.
