Gonera and Brocklehurst reimagined the U.K. format into a one-hour drama series about a taxi driver (Esposito) whose life is turned upside down when he agrees to chauffer a New Orleans-based Zimbabwean gangster notorious for exploiting undocumented immigrants at the U.S. southern ports. Theo Travers (<em>Billions<\/em>) will serve as showrunner and Gonera will direct the pilot.<\/p><div id=\"morty-400651235\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Giancarlo is a singular talent who is already beloved by AMC viewers through his standout performances in<em> Breaking Bad<\/em> and <em>Better Call Saul<\/em>,&#8221; said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. &#8220;We are excited to be continuing his relationship with AMC and AMC+ in a series built around him and an unforgettable character who takes what he thinks is a straightforward job opportunity and finds himself confronted with a world that tests him in ways he could never have imagined.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Esposito said: &#8220;I am over the moon excited, enthused, and inspired to be in collaboration with the stellar network and creative team of AMC! Thanks for believing in me.

This whole journey started as a simple conversation four years ago in my manager Josh Kesselman&#8217;s living room when he said, &#8216;Giancarlo is keen to play an everyman as his next role. There&#8217;s a British show he loves called The Driver. Would you watch the pilot and see if you could come up with a take you both could get excited about?&#8217; Um, would I?

The Driver is a high-voltage, dark identity quest for an everyman trying to find renewed purpose in his life. We&#8217;re rooting for Vince as he goes down this wild and nihilistic route to discover who he once was, and in many ways still is, because it gets him out of a stuck place. That&#8217;s where a lot of us feel we are right now, which makes this series so timely for today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are thrilled to partner with AMC Studios and Giancarlo Esposito on<em> The Driver<\/em>, a timely and thought-provoking must-watch series that addresses our current cultural changes and is sure to resonate with viewers,&#8221; said Barry Jossen, president, and head of A+E Studios and Tana Jamieson, executive vice president, creative affairs for A+E Studios. &#8220;Together with Danny Brocklehurst, Sunu Gonera, and Theo Travers, A+E Studios and our producing partners at Thruline will deliver another high-quality show for AMC.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Esposito, Gonera, Brocklehurst, and Travers will executive produce alongside Josh Kesselman and Danny Sherman from Thruline and, from A+E Studios, Jossen, and Jamieson.<\/p>\n<p>Esposito&#8217;s representatives are ICM, Thruline Entertainment, Jackoway Austen Tyerman, and ImPRint.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Driver<\/em> joins three other recent greenlights on the schedule for AMC+ and AMC for 2023, Isle of the Dead, Demascus and Invitation to a Bonfire.
