(from Crackle's press release, January 2018) Crackle, Sony Pictures Television Networks' free ad-supported streaming network, today announced plans to partner with award-winning producers Douglas Urbanski and Gary Oldman of Flying Studio Pictures on the original drama, "The Butcher." The details were shared today at the bi-annual gathering of television critics in Pasadena. Written by Charles Burmeister (Columbus Day), "The Butcher" is a modern story of one man's epic investigation to find, hunt down, and kill a serial killer who lives among us - someone who is very human, but also beyond human. Along the way, the story's hero, a hardened Los Angeles homicide detective named Mitch Dixon, must uncover the mystery of who The Butcher is, how he operates, and come to terms with the unbelievable truth - that he has discovered the key to immortality, the price of which is consuming human flesh.
