Netflix has today given series orders to the original drama series All the Sinners Bleed and The Body. The streamer has also picked up an untitled original comedy series created by and starring Emmy winner Dan Levy.
Based on the novel by S.A. Cosby, All the Sinners Bleed will follow the first Black sheriff in a small Bible Belt County, haunted by his past in the FBI and his devout mother's untimely death, as he must lead the hunt for a serial killer that has quietly been preying on Black communities in Southern Virginia for years in the name of God.
Joe Robert Cole developed the drama and will serve as showrunner on the first season. He will executive produce with Cosby. Amblin Television and Higher Ground Productions will produce.
The Body will follow a group of badly behaved Catholic school girls who, after a dance-team initiation gone wrong, begin having prophetic visions that set off mass hysteria in their town.
Quinn Shephard created the drama. She will executive produce with Riley Keough, Amy Israel, Peter Chernin, Josh Stern, Gina Gammell and Sacha Ben Harroche. The North Road Company and Felix Culpa will produce.
The untitled Dan Levy comedy will center on two deeply incapable siblings who are blackmailed into the world of organized crime.
Levy and Taylor Ortega (Welcome to Flatch, Ghosts) will play the siblings, with Emmy winner Laurie Metcalf (Hacks, The Conners) as their mother.
Levy co-created the comedy with Rachel Sennott. Not a Real Production Company will produce.
