The former music video director has helmed eps of Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead in the past, to name a few, but is more recently best known for directing all five episodes of HBO’s Chernobyl, so expect The Sparrow to look gorgeous if it ever makes it to air.
Longtime movie Mark Johnson, who reached TV gold as producer on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, will serve as an executive producer for The Sparrow alongside Johan Renck.
As the one AMC project in the works about space and possible aliens, The Sparrow has a lot of potential, and it has a solid pair behind it as part of the creative team.
