Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Friday that Paramount+ prevailed in a competitive bidding process to develop a Cop Land TV series for Paramount Television Studios and Miramax Television.
- James Mangold will co-write, executive-produce and direct the series while Robert Levine will co-write, executive-produce and serve as showrunner.
- The project grew out of Miramax outreach after a leadership change and accelerated after corporate moves that led to Mangold’s overall deal with Paramount Pictures.
- No casting has been announced and producers are expected to pursue a well-known actor to anchor the show.
- The series marks Mangold’s return to television after nearly a decade and adds to Paramount+’s strategy of adapting film properties into long-form, prestige programming.
