EXCLUSIVE: In a very competitive situation, Starz has landed hot drama spec script Family Crimes by Suicide Squad writer-director David Ayer, from Jerry Bruckheimer Television, with a production commitment.
While the project has not been formally ordered to series, I hear that is the intention at the pay cable network, which is in the straight-to-series business. With a flashing green light, Family Crimes already is setting up a writers room, starting the casting process and is putting together a production schedule for a summer 2018 shoot.
Written by Ayer, Family Crimes centers on a young privileged Latina who must reinvent herself in order to save her family when the feds close in on their business with the Mexican mob. She quickly learns to navigate the criminal underworld and finds herself trapped in a web of complex rules, rivalries and deep politics.
