Now, after some retooling of the pilot script and producing of outlines for future episodes, it looks like Famuyiwa has attached himself to the project for the foreseeable future.
Famuyiwa will also serve as an executive producer for the show, while Elwood Reid (The Bridge) will pick up showrunning duties.
The rumor is that the series will have a 10-episode first season, though that’s obviously not confirmed at this point.
In summer of 2015, Waithe’s original script was shot as a pilot with producer Aaron Kaplan for Showtime but never materialized as a show.
