History on Thursday gave a straight-to-series order to Blue Book, a scripted drama about a real-life, secret U.S. government operation in the 1950s and ’60s that investigated UFO-related phenomena.
David O’Leary created the series, and he will serve as writer; Jack Rapke (Cast Away) and Jackie Levine (The Walk) will executive-produce alongside Zemeckis.
Each episode will use information from the project’s files — along with a heavy dose of UFO lore, of course.
It’s time to hear about the hunt for extraterrestrial life from the Men in Black’s side.
