Actress Piper Perabo is recovering from a broken leg after a stunt went awry on the set of her new TV drama Covert Affairs.

Luckily for the Coyote Ugly star, the accident happened while she was shooting the season finale and she was able to limp around and complete her scenes.

She says, “I broke it in a fight scene in the finale. We were literally one day from wrapping.

“Luckily, I have a great stuntwoman, who was able to get my close-up, and a great editor. It was an accident and I’m fine and I’m not taking any steps back. It was just a freak accident.

“It it went as we’d rehearsed, everything would have been fine but sometimes accidents happen, especially when you really go for it.”

But now Perabo fears her action scenes will be cut back when the show starts up again: “One of the things I like about the show is they really take the action seriously and let me do it. When it happened, one of the first things I said to our line producer was, ‘Do not take me out of the action of the show’.”

USA Network has announced today that it has picked up the original series Covert Affairs starring Piper Perabo (“Coyote Ugly,” “Beverly Hills Chihuahua”), Christopher Gorham (“Ugly Betty,” “Jake 2.0″), Peter Gallagher (“The O.C.,” “American Beauty”), Kari Matchett (“Invasion”) and Anne Dudek (“House,” “Mad Men”). COVERT AFFAIRS will premiere with a 90-minute episode followed by 11 one-hour episodes. The series will be shot on location in Toronto. The announcement was made today by Jeff Wachtel, president, original programming, USA Network, and co-head, original content, Universal Cable Productions.

“Covert Affairs is a perfect fit with USA’s other top rated original series,” said Wachtel. “It combines the best of the network’s brand attributes – high concept characters with an aspirational tone set in an exciting location – this time in the intriguing and surprisingly rich world of the CIA.”

In COVERT AFFAIRS, we meet Annie Walker (Perabo), a young CIA trainee who is thrust into the inner sanctum of the agency when she is unexpectedly promoted to field operative. While it appears that she has been plucked from obscurity for her exceptional linguistic skills, there may be something or someone from her past that her CIA bosses are really after. Gorham plays Auggie Anderson, a CIA military intelligence agent, blinded while on assignment, and Annie’s guide in this world of bureaucracy, excitement and intrigue. Gallagher plays Arthur, the formidable Director of Clandestine Services for the CIA. Dudek plays a married mother of two and is and Annie’s older sister and Matchett plays Joan, head of the CIA’s Domestic Protection Division who happens to be married to Arthur.
