Yas Fukunaga YAAAAS.
Ahead of his first upfront presentation as Turner's chief content officer and head of both networks, Reilly announced plans to rebrand comedy-focused TBS and a shift in focus at drama-themed TNT, in addition to doubling the number of originals at both cablers. The new directions included a limited series order to Cary Fukunaga's The Alienist.
The Alienist, meanwhile, was first announced in April and reteams Fukunaga and True Detective producers Anonymous Content. The series hails from Paramount TV, with TNT Original Productions boarding as a co-producer. Fukunaga will direct the adapation of Caleb Carr's New York Times best-seller. The drama, which also reunites former Reilly with Paramount Pictures CEO Brad Grey after the former served as president of Brad Grey Television. Academy Award winners Eric Roth (Munich) and Hossein Amini (Drive) will exec produce alongside Fukunaga. Amini will pen the script. The drama is described as a fast-paced and atmospheric psychological thriller set in the gritty world of Gilded Age New York. Following a series of haunting and gruesome murders, psychiatrist Laszlo Kreizler, newspaper reporter John Moore and police commissioner Theodore Roosevelt come together, employing emerging disciplines of psychology and early crime investigation techniques to track down one of New Yorks first serial killers. Anonymous' Steve Golin and Rosalie Swedlin also exec produce.
