The Night Of premieres Sunday, July 10 on HBO, and runs for eight weeks.
The Night Of will have to be very good, right out of the gate, to avoid a similar fate.
Eventually the project was revived, with John Turturro stepping into Gandolfini’s role as a lawyer defending a Pakistani-American client on murder charges, and given the new title The Night Of.
The Night Of began life as an American remake of a 2008 British series called Criminal Justice, which was also the original name of the American version.
