"CBS is developing a TV adaptation of “L.A. Confidential,” Variety has learned.
Based on James Ellroy’s classic novel of the same name, the series would follow the paths of three homicide detectives, a female reporter, and a Hollywood actress as they intersect while the detectives pursue a sadistic serial killer through the seedy underbelly of 1950’s Los Angeles.
New Regency, Lionsgate Television and CBS Television Studios will produce, with New Regency’s Arnon Milchan serving as executive producer. Jordan Harper is set to write and executive produce.
This is not the first time an “L.A. Confidential” series has been attempted. After the success of the film, a pilot starring Kiefer Sutherland and Eric Roberts among others was shot. It was ultimately not picked up, but was included as a special feature in the film’s DVD and Blu-Ray release. In 2013, Ellroy shopped a sequel series to various networks but was unable to find it a home."
