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."

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.

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)
