Two months after passing on the BBC adaptation, the drama is back on at the premium cable network with a seven-episode commitment.
That project is the James Gandolfini drama Criminal Justice, an adaptation of Peter Moffat's 2008 BBC crime entry. HBO on Monday ordered seven episodes of the retooled New York-set crime drama with plans to air the entry as a seven-hour limited series.
The reversal comes some two-plus months after HBO opted not to move forward, a surprising move given the auspices on camera as well as off. In the interim, the project garnered strong buzz and heavy interest from HBO rivals.
