George R.R. Martin "is looking to expand his TV reach" by developing Captain Cosmos, a new series with HBO that "centers on a young science fiction writer living in 1949 at the dawn of the age of TV," the Hollywood Reporter wrote.
Michael Cassutt, a writer and co-executive producer on SyFy's Z Nation, is writing the pilot episode. THR noted that the "proposed series is not expected to be a big time commitment for Martin, who announced last month that he was dialing back on appearances in order to focus on writing The Winds of Winter, the long-awaited sixth installment of his Song of Ice and Fire series."
