According to Variety, the newsroom-set pilot finds Harden as a millionaire who buys the newspaper, which is at the center of the new drama. "The Tower" will also feature Cole Hauser, CCH Pounder and Rosamund Pike as part of a team of reporters who not only cover the news, but also help solve the mysteries behind the story.
"The Tower" is executive produced by Meredith Stiehm and Davis Guggenheim.
