Wahlberg's 'Kill Point' to air on Bravo

Real-time drama series The Kill Point will air on Bravo.

Eight hour-long episodes follow a group of American veterans of the war in Iraq, led by "Mr Wolf" (John Leguizamo), attempting to rob a bank.

Pittsburgh police, with hostage negotiator Horst Cali (Donnie Wahlberg), get involved as the raid goes wrong.

The show attracted strong audiences for Spike TV in the US and will air in the spring. They follow the drama in real-time to create a television "event".

Bravo controller Dave Clarke said: "The Kill Point is a perfect fit for Bravo - gritty, cinematic, ambitious, and delivers a slick twist on a recognised genre. We’re very excited to be launching such great show with such strong talent."
