When does Anna Pigeon premiere?
Anna Pigeon will premiere on USA Network in 2026, following the new series The Rainmaker's USA Network debut in 2025.
The Rainmaker — which will premiere on August 15, 2025, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on USA Network, with episodes streaming on Peacock one week after they first air — is based on the bestselling John Grisham novel of the same name. The novel was previously adapted into a hit 1997 film starring Matt Damon and Danny DeVito.
Anna Pigeon will mark the first adaptation of Barr's novels, of which there are 19. The first installment, Track of the Cat, published in 1993. In the novel, "Anna Pigeon has fled New York and her memories to find work as a ranger in the country’s national parks. In the remote backcountry of West Texas, however, she discovers murder and violence. Fellow park ranger Sheila Drury is mysteriously killed, presumably by a mountain lion. But the deep claw marks Anna finds across Drury’s throat and the paw prints surrounding the body are too perfect to be real," per the Goodreads synopsis.
Anna Pigeon is set to premiere on USA Network in 2026.
