DESCRIPTION:
(from Starz's press release, May 2013) Starz and Lionsgate announced today that they will again join forces to develop a new original drama series, "Fleet Street." Set in 1970's England, the provocative new series will chronicle the rise of tabloid journalism, the sexual revolution and class warfare, all seen through the eyes of an American journalist. The drama will be produced by Lionsgate in association with Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Produced, Octagon Entertainment, and Piers Morgan's Ferret Productions. Executive producers are Piers Morgan (Piers Morgan Live on CNN, America's Got Talent), Octagon Entertainment's Managing Director John Ferriter ("Arsenio Hall Show," "It Gets Better"), and Jason Felts, Justin Berfield and Michael Forman (Virgin Produced). BAFTA Award- winning screenwriter Danny Brocklehurst ("Shameless" UK, "Clocking Off") will write the pilot episode and also serve as executive producer. |
