The network has ordered a six-part miniseries from Simon and his frequent collaborator Ed Burns based on Pulitzer-winning novelist Phillip Roth’s 2004 novel The Plot Against America.
Presumably The Plot Against America will go into production after that.
Burns did not work on Show Me a Hero, Simon’s 2015 collaboration with writer William F. Zorzi about a housing crisis in Yonkers, New York, but they’re reuniting for The Plot Against America.
The Wire and The Deuce creator David Simon is officially doing another limited series for HBO, Variety reports.
