According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Family Guy creator is developing a limited series for Universal Content Productions (UCP) based off Herman Wouk’s World War II novel The Winds of War.
MacFarlane will co-write and executive produce the series, which follows the fictional Commander Victor “Pug” Henry and his family throughout World War II.
An epic World War II drama?
MacFarlane concluded that the UCP team will be “a perfect fit for all.” This won’t be the first time The Winds of War has been adapted for the small screen.
