Can you identify this Sierra skyline?

Hello Climbers,
The photo below is a screen capture from a TV show. It seems familiar to me but I can't quite place it. Does anyone recognize it? Maybe in the Sierra Nevada?

Could be way off here, but the two notches remind me of the V notch and U notch in the Palisades.

You are WAYYYY OFFF here. U and V notches are named because the couloir forms the U and V shape, not the notch itself.

Although I can't figure out what peaks those are OP is asking about...one looks like Mt. Clark but I don't think it is it...
