The scribe will return to the sci-fi world with Saga, a drama set up at ABC, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Miller will write and executive produce the project, which tells the story of an author of a best-selling book series (think Twilight) who goes missing before she can complete the final installment in her epic fantasy saga. After a family of fans discovers that she's been kidnapped into the very real world of her books, they do their part and attempt to rescue her.
