Following an intense bidding war against multiple networks and streaming services, Apple TV+ has successfully won the rights to a brand new documentary series which hails from McMillions filmmaking duo Brian Lazarte and James Lee Hernandez.
Brian Lazarte (Sonic Highways) and James Hernandez (Wonder Women) are set as producers through their Fun Meter Productions banner.
Lazarte and Hernandez gained recognition for their 6-part HBO documentary series McMillions which told the story of how ex-cop Jerome Jacobson had rigged the McDonald’s Monopoly Game and allegedly stole over $24 million.
The film adaptation of the McScam story is also currently in development with Oscar winners Ben Affleck to direct and Matt Damon to star.
