One new series ordered to pilot from Anchorman team Adam McKay and Will Ferrell sounds like Arrested Development as high drama, while another from Kathryn Bigelow will take us to Mogadishu, Minnesota.
Both are in their early stages, but are either Succession or Mogadishu, Minnesota poised to get HBO’s drama brand back on track?
Bigelow will executive produce alongside Somali Canadian rapper-singer-songwriter-poet K’naan Warsame, who himself will write the script, executive produce and even direct the pilot.
The drama will explore family loyalty, international business and the perils of power in the 21st century.
