We are grateful to JoJo Fletcher, Jordan Rodgers, and the executive producers of Big D for their partnership through the process," a T-Nets spokeswoman told the publication. (Deadline.com)

Jez Butterworth is behind the project with T-Street's Ram Bergman, Rian Johnson and Nena Rodrigue; Under the Influence's Ethan Hawke and Ryan Hawke; and Price also executive producing for Civic Center Media and MRC Television.
