NBC has given a put pilot commitment to Infamous, a legal drama procedural from the directors/executive producers and the studio behind the networks’ breakout fall series This Is Us.
The project, based on the 2009 Icelandic series Réttur, is written/executive produced by Eli Attie (Rosewood) and executive produced by This Is Us‘ John Requa & Glenn Ficarra and Scripted World’s Rob Golenberg & Alon Aranya (Hostages, Betrayal). Requa and Ficarra, who directed the pilot for This Is Us, exec produce Infamous alongside their Zaftig Films partner and fellow This Is Us exec producer Charlie Gogolak. 20th TV, where Zaftig is under an overall deal, is the studio.
In Infamous, a fast-rising hotshot attorney is jailed for a murder he doesn’t remember, and believes he didn’t commit. Six years later, he’s released on a technicality — which doesn’t mean that he’s innocent, or that his old life wants him back. He wanted to be famous; now he’s infamous. He re-enters his family firm to find his brother’s taken his seat at the table — and also his fiancée. While solving cases each week, he’ll do anything to find out what really happened that fateful night, and who might have set him up. And he changes the ways of the family firm, whether they like it or not.
