Graham Moore, the writer who won an Oscar for his first film, The Imitation Game, was on board to write the series, and excitement for the project was supposed to be high.
NBC Universal’s production arm was working on the show along with British network Sky Atlantic, and the drama was scheduled to appear on NBC as well as Sky.
Director Marc Forster (Monster’s Ball, Quantum of Solace, World War Z) was also attached to the drama.
But, according to Radio Times, Sky just pulled the plug on the series.
