Lifetime’s backdoor pilot Sworn to Silence, starring and co-executive-produced by Neve Campbell, is set to start shooting at Cinevillage in Toronto later this month.

The pilot, produced by Mary Young Leckie and Terry Gould and directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal (Girl Fight), will shoot from Jan. 25 to Feb. 20 as part of a development deal with the U.S. channel.

Sworn to Silence portrays an Amish community in Ohio where Campbell (Scream) grows up and returns later in life as the chief of police to solve a string of brutal murders.

Based on a book by Linda Castillo and adapted by Mark Malone, Sworn to Silence will also be executive-produced by Barbara Lieberman (Murder in the Hamptons) and Poppy Montgomery (Cold Case).

Campbell is represented by United Talent Agency and Abi Harries of Ken McReddie Associates.
