AMC is developing Furniss, a supernatural drama from Awake creator Kyle Killen and actor-filmmaker Macon Blair, Paramount TV, Anonymous Content and AMC Studios. The project has been put on a straight-to-series track under AMC’s model that involves the opening of a writers room for a series production order consideration that AMC brass uses for pilot scripts they are high on. Furniss is one one of two AMC dramas on that path — with writers room currently working on scripts — along with Dietland, from Marti Noxon and Skydance Television.
Blair wrote the pilot script for Furniss based on an idea by Fede Alvarez, who is set to direct, and Rodo Sayagues. Killen serves as showrunner on the show, about a teenage orphan’s new life with her birth father and his family, complicated by her connection to secret supernatural events in their rural town.
