Together they form an unlikely "Loser-Bonnie-and-Clyde"-style partnership that ends in lies, murder and the electric chair." Bryant and Rob Klein are co-writing the project, which is based on an episode of the Crime Junkies podcast entitled "Infamous: The 'Lonely Hearts' Killers." Ari Aster, Ashley Flowers, Kevin Mills, Lars Knudsen and Emily Hildner are also executive producing for Universal Television, Green Bouquet, Audiochuck and Square Peg. (Variety.com)

Campfire Studios and Lewellen Pictures are behind the project with Ross Dinerstein, Lesley Chilcott, Rebecca Halpern, Rebecca Evans, Dakota Fanning, Elle Fanning, and director Abby Fuller executive producing. Co-executive producers include Dani Sloane, Ross Girard, and Mark McCune with Burgess as a consulting producer. (Deadline.com)

The project, which has an eight-episode order, will stream on Amazon's main platform, Prime Video, after originally being set up on Amazon Freevee. Writers Tim Walsh and Elliot Wolf and director Eriq LaSalle are spearheading the effort for Wolf Entertainment, Amazon Studios and Universal Television. Ben Watkins had previously been attached as showrunner. Dick Wolf, Arthur Forney and Peter Jankowski are also executive producers. (Deadline.com)
SERVERANCE (Apple TV+) - Beau Willimon has joined the auspices of the show's second season. Said report indicates the show "is facing significant delays in the wake of a falling out between co-showrunners Dan Erickson and Mark Friedman." (Puck.News)
