Steven Soderbergh is to exec produce a true-crime doc series about the military justice system for Starz.
The Lionsgate-backed broadcaster has ordered Leavenworth from the Magic Mike and Ocean’s Eleven director as well as Paul Pawlowski (Aziz Ansari: Buried Alive) and David Check (The Franchise).
The series, which was unveiled by Starz Chief Operating Officer Jeffrey Hirsch at the TCA summer press tour, will premiere on the channel on October 20 2019.
Leavenworth tells the story of Clint Lorance, who is serving a 19-year sentence for murder at The United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth. While deployed in Afghanistan in July 2012, the former lieutenant ordered fire on three local men riding a motorcycle, killing two of them and outraging his platoon. In a first-hand account of a soldier navigating the Us Army’s legal system, Lorance seeks to overturn his conviction, provoking emotional debate between supporters and detractors that rises to the national stage.
