Steven Bochco & David Milch To Produce Legal Drama For NBC, 20th TV & Imagine

Almost 20 years once they produced ABC’s groundbreaking cop drama NYPD Blue, Steven Bochco and David Milch have reunited to produce a new drama series, this time around for NBC. The network has given a script commitment with significant penalty for an untitled legal drama from Bochco, Milch, Imagine TV and twentieth century Fox TV. The project is placed inside DCs most popular lawyer, Tapman Rose, which has a perfect record of billion-dollar pay outs. It focuses on Ted Tapman, a charming “rainmaker” lawyer having a dark secret. Bochco and Milch co-produced the project and can write the storyline together. Milch will write the teleplay. Bochco, Milch and Imagine’s John Grazer and Francie Calfo are executive creating. The brand new project won’t hinder Milch’s responsibilities around the approaching Cinemax drama Luck, the author’s collaboration with Michael Mann. I hear that Milch is slated revisit the equine-racing drama starring Dustin Hoffman following the pilot for that NBC show, with Bochco set to operate the possibility series. The impetus for that new project originated from a phone call Grazer designed to Bochco, whom he'd noted for a very long time. Grazer asked the veteran author-producer in the future over for any meeting and requested him whether he could bring his former collaborator Milch with him. This marks a homecoming for Emmy those who win Bochco and Milch who first labored together around the NBC drama Hill Street Blues, which Bochco co-produced. Before that, Bochco co-produced another hit series for NBC, legal drama L.A. Law, which Milch authored one episode. L.A. Law, Hill Street Blues in addition to NYPD Blue were created by 20th TV. The brand new project is Bochco’s first with 20th TV since NYPD, which grew to become the topic of a 1999 suit by Bochco from the studio within the series’ off-network purchase to brother or sister Forex. The situation was settled in 2001.
