The Hollywood Reporter states:
“The untitled project centers on a wealthy academic who has become the first black president of a prestigious liberal arts college. He and his family are thrust into national headlines, forcing them to present an idyllic public façade, all while engaging in agonizing personal battles and struggling with dark obsessions.”
The hour-long drama will be backed by playwright Thomas Bradshaw (The Bereaved) and Kate Forte as executive producers.
In 2008, Harpo Films began a partnership with HBO to develop miniseries, movies, documentaries and scripted series for the network.
