Variety reports that CBS wants to bring L.A. Confidential to the small screen in series form, and is working with Gotham and The Mentalist producer Jordan Harper, who will write and executive produce.
CBS is currently developing a series based on James Ellroy’s acclaimed 1990 crime novel L.A. Confidential.
Ellroy’s 1990 novel was the third book in his L.A. Quartet cycle, following The Black Dahlia and The Big Nowhere and preceding White Jazz.
New Regency, Lionsgate and CBS Television will produce, with Arnon Milchan of New Regency also serving as executive producer.
