The international drama series is produced by Michael Ellenberg’s Media Res, the studio behind Apple’s upcoming morning show drama that stars Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston.
Pachinko is said to have a big premium budget allotted for the show’s production that is similar to Netflix’s The Crown.
The drama is expected to be told in three different languages: Korean, Japanese and English.
The Pachinko series is written by Soo Hugh (The Terror, The Whispers) who will also be the series’ showrunner and executive producer alongside Lee.
