"Big Little Lies" Creator Teaming Up with Stephen King for More TV Thrills!
"Goliath" is a legal drama about a lawyer who reluctantly agrees to pursue a wrongful death suit against a law firm he helped create. Meanwhile, Kelley (who is married to actress Michelle Pfeiffer) is also gearing up a new series called "Mr. Mercedes" that's been adapted from the Stephen King novel. The series will be 10 episodes long and will focus on a demented killer who enjoys taunting a retired policeman with letters, forcing the cop to come out of retirement and catch him. The show is set to star Moonlight actor Jharrel Jerome, along with Scott Lawrence and Brendan Gleeson.
David E. Kelley is proven powerhouse in the business, and this team-up with one of the best horror writers in the game has us all kinds of excited! Here's hoping "Mr. Mercedes" is able to fill the hole left by "Big Little Lies"...
