The Walking Dead’s Gale Anne Hurd to produce a Female-Led Adventure Drama
Earlier this week, NBC is developing a new adventure drama that is inspired by a true story, according to Variety.
Titled Goldbug, this series is about the true tale of gold lost in South America at the beginning of World War I. The story follows a Ph.D. student who travels halfway across the world to find the treasure her estranged mother never could. What begins as a hunt for gold quickly becomes a quest to solve a dark family mystery. This project is a female-led adventure drama.
The Walking Dead‘s Gale Anne Hurd will serve as an executive producer via Valhalla Entertainment on the project. Hurd and Valhalla Entertainment produce both The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead along with Amazon’s Lore. Hurd is also an executive producer for Slaughterhouse-Five, which is a TV adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.’s novel.
Daniel Tuch is also serving as an executive producer as well as the writer for the project. Tuch has written various episodes for Burn Notice and Hand of God. Universal Cable Productions will produce in association with Valhalla and Blue Monday Productions.
Goldbug is still in the very early stages of production and there is no word of a cast list or premiere date. Check back soon for updates.
