Shooter is an American television drama series based on the novel Point of Impact by Stephen Hunter and the 2007 film of the same name. USA Network picked up the pilot in August 2015[1] and ordered the pilot to series in February 2016.[2]

The series was originally set to premiere on July 19, 2016 but was postponed a week to July 26, due to the July 7 Dallas shootings.[3] Following the Baton Rouge police officer shootings on July 17, the series was pulled from USA's summer schedule entirely.[4] On October 3, 2016, USA announced a new premiere date for Shooter, which premiered on November 15, 2016.[5]
