The Leftovers writer Patrick Somerville will adapt the series, while Fukunaga, Stone and Hill will executive produce the Paramount TV project with Anonymous Content’s Michael Sugar and Doug Wald.
It’s been close to a year since we learned True Detective and Beasts of No Nation director Cary Fukunaga had officially set a Netflix return to direct Jonah Hill and Emma Stone in new dark comedy series Maniac, which at long last is finally moving forward.
Initial reports had Maniac eyed for a two-season order, but will a firm production date expedite the process?
Per Deadline, filming on the 10-episode Norwegian-adapted series will begin in New York City on August 15, likely wrapping before Thanksgiving.
