Per Variety, Simon is collaborating with Spain’s Mediapro for A Dry Run, a series that will examine the United States’ military involvement during the Spanish Civil War.
But many know Simon as the mastermind behind HBO’s The Wire, which ran for five seasons from 2002 to 2008.
David Simon, the creator of HBO’s The Wire and other influential television series, will soon focus on the perils of civil war rather than street-smart characters.
The Spanish Civil War lasted from 1936 to 1939, and the Nationalist victory established a military dictatorship under Francisco Franco.
