CBS Television Studios "has won an auction and is in final negotiations for the rights to former FBI director James Comey's memoir A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, Deadline reported. The bestselling book will be adapted into a miniseries written by Billy Ray (Captain Phillips, Shattered Glass, Breach).
The project "has a series commitment, though it has not been determined on which CBS platform it would air," Deadline wrote: "Word is Comey flew in to Los Angeles for a series of pitch meetings with both film and TV (premium cable and streaming) buyers, which was held at CAA earlier this month."
