NBC Entertainment has announced four new shows that are in the pipeline to be aired in the 2013-2014 schedule.
“Hilary
will be written and directed by Frozen River's Courtney Hunt and will recount
Clinton's life as a wife, mother, politician and cabinet member from 1998 to
the present. The script will begin with Clinton living in the White House as
her husband is serving the second of his two terms as president. It will
include her likely run for president. Busted Shark's Sherryl Clark will
executive produce alongside James D. Stern (Looper). Greenblatt told reporters
following his presentation that the former first lady hadn't yet heard of the
project. (The project comes almost 10 years after Greenblatt opted to air CBS'
controversial mini The Reagans during his tenure at Showtime.)
Rosemary's
Baby will also be a four-hour mini and is described as an updated retelling of
the novel by Ira Levin that led to a feature film about devil worship and the
relationship between a young husband and wife. In the new incarnation, the
couple lives in Paris. Lionsgate will produce with Scott Abbott (Winchell) on
board to pen the project. Joshua Maurer, David Stern, Perri Kipperman and Alix
Witlin will executive produce.
King's
Tommyknockers is based on the author's 1987 novel about the residents of a
small Maine town and how they deal with what they perceive to be an alien
spacecraft that has landed nearby. Frank Konigsberg and Larry Sanitsky will
executive produce, while Emmy winner Yves Simoneau (Bury My Heart at Wounded
Knee) will direct.
Limited
series Plymouth will follow the challenges and drama of the Pilgrims' journey
across the Atlantic and the difficulties of settling in a new country. Burnett
and Anne Thomopoulos of Mark Burnett Productions will executive produce
alongside Gina Matthews and Grant Scharbo of Little Engine. Oscar and Emmy
winner Walon Green (NYPD Blue, The Hellstrom Chronicle) will pen the project.”
