- BBC America is developing Nottingham with Cole Haddon (NBC’s Dracula) . The official synopsis: “Nottingham centers on the Sheriff of Nottingham whose wife is killed by King John’s men. When nobody is brought to justice, the Sheriff launches a one-man war against the Crown. By day, he remains the reviled Sheriff, loyal servant of the King, but by night he puts on a hood and, using the intelligence he gains from his office, attacks the King where it hurts the most — his coffers.”
- FreemantleMedia is developing a TV series called The Outlaw Chronicles based on a six-book series - Outlaw, Holy Warrior, King’s Man, Warlord, Grail Knight, and The Iron Castle. This production format looks to be inspired by the huge success of Game of Thrones on HBO.
