Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005) 2929 Productions & Warner Independent Pictures (WIP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

AMC Networks today announced the opening of a writers’ room to develop a serial version of Good Night, and Good Luck<\/em><\/strong> for AMC and AMC+. The series adaptation of Participant and 2929 Productions’ 2005 Academy Award\u00ae, BAFTA, and Golden Globe multi-nominated film was brought to the network by George Clooney and Grant Heslov’s Smokehouse Pictures along with Participant and 2929 Productions. Scripts will be led by Emmy, PGA, and WGA Award winner Jonathan Glatzer (Better Call Saul, Succession<\/em>), and Grant Heslov will direct the first episode. Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner, under their 2929 Productions banner, and Jeff Skoll for Participant will return as executive producers, joined by Miura Kite (Participant) and Haley Jones (2929), and co-executive producer Rebecca Arzoian (Smokehouse). The project will be developed under AMC Networks’ “scripts-to-series” model, which opens writers’ rooms to develop prospective series that, in success, move straight-to-series.<\/p>\n

Good Night, and Good Luck<\/em> showrunner Jonathan Glatzer has found his inspiration in the newsmen and women who worked alongside Edward R. Murrow amid a post-war climate of fear and hysteria. The series follows Sy Steingartner, a young cameraman for Murrow’s “See It Now,” who is forced to juggle his admiration for Murrow with his own ambition. With the CBS brass pushing an anti-Communist Loyalty Oath on Murrow and his staff, Sy has an opportunity to rise straight to the top, but only by betraying his mentor in the process. With wit and keen observation, the series confronts how we respond to chaos and the values that pull us through.<\/p>
