TNT Greenlights Frank Darabont Crime Drama L.A. NOIR

TNT has greenlit a new series, L.A. NOIR, from executive producers Frank Darabont (THE WALKING DEAD), Michael De Luca (The Social Network) and Elliot Webb (Tall Time Tales). TNT has ordered a total of six episodes for the untitled project, which is being produced by TNT Originals.

Based on the critically acclaimed book "L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City by John Buntin," the story chronicles the epic battle between Los Angeles Police Chief William Parker and mobster Mickey Cohen. Alissa Phillips (Moneyball) of Michael De Luca Productions serves as co-executive producer. Darabont wrote and directed the pilot. The show, which will air on TNT and Turner networks around the world, will be distributed by TBS International outside of the United States and Canada.
