TNT has ordered its first drama pilots of 2018, and both are women-centric. The network is developing Elisabeth Shue-led “Constance,” a portrait of a former beauty queen turned small town bureaucrat, and “Beast Mode,” inspired by boxer and trainer Ann Wolfe. Deadline confirmed the news.

Penned by KC Perry (“The Originals”), “Constance” is a darkly humorous look into the life of Constance Young (Shue). After her husband mysteriously dies, the City Hall employee resorts to forging the books at her work to avoid financial ruin. All the while, she’s “simultaneously trying to reinvent herself through the hyper-competitive world of direct-sales cosmetics,” according to the source. Shue and Perry are among the project’s executive producers. The former received an Oscar nod for “Leaving Las Vegas.” Her recent credits include “Death Wish,” “Battle of the Sexes,” and “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.”

Still a working title, “Beast Mode” tells the story of Wolfe, “a feisty, brilliant-yet-damaged woman with a ‘kill or be killed’ mentality. While these qualities make her an excellent trainer, they tend to cause problems in the rest of her life.” No word on who will portray Wolfe, who once held world titles in three different weight classes simultaneously.

“’Constance’ and ‘Beast Mode’ exist in two radically different worlds, one of cosmetics and crime, and the other of elite boxing, but both pilots are about complicated, empowered women who are incredible forces of nature,” said Sarah Aubrey, EVP of original programming for TNT. “Their passion and ambition, mixed with a healthy dose of craziness, make them unforgettable characters that our viewers will love.”

“Claws” and “Good Behavior” are among TNT’s current offerings. The network is also the home of “I Am the Night,” an upcoming noir series directed by “Wonder Woman” helmer Patty Jenkins.
