WitSec: Inside the Federal Witness Protection Program by Pete Earley and Gerald Shur is being developed for TV at HBO, Deadline reported. From Peter Chernin's Chernin Entertainment, the project will be written by Justin Piasecki (Relay) and David Kob (Foundation). Executive producers are Alex Jackson of Chernin Entertainment, Earley, and Miriam Shur.
The Witsec series "follows a Department of Justice lawyer and a hardened mob hitman, both fed up with the corrupt institutions around them, who form a precarious alliance to convict criminal titans and save lives in the rogue origins of the Witness Protection Program," Deadline noted.
