DEVELOPMENT STAGE:
script
DESCRIPTION:
(from History's press release, May 2016) HISTORY(R) is partnering with writer/producer Chris Brancato ("Narcos") to develop the new original drama series "#Cartel," it was announced today by Jana Bennett, President & General Manager, HISTORY. The series would explore the global drug wars through the true story of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and is produced by ABC Signature and A+E Studios. The network has ordered a first episode script for this premium project. The series would follow kingpin "El Chapo" Guzman's rise to power. It's a look inside the stranger-than-fiction world of drug cartels who use social media to maintain their image, recruit new members and threaten rivals. Unlike drug lords of decades past, El Chapo has fan followings, with relationships in the entertainment and music industry that stretch past the Mexican border and into the United States. "#Cartel" is a story of power, money, sex and the human cost of the drug wars like none ever seen on television.
