Bill Pullman is set as the male lead opposite Jessica Biel in USA Network’s crime drama pilot The Sinner. Created and written by Derek Simonds based on Petra Hammesfahr's book and executive produced by Biel, The Sinner focuses on Cora Tanner (Biel), a young mother who, overcome by an inexplicable fit of rage, commits a startling and very public act of violence — and to her horror has no idea why.
