Damon Lindelof to Develop MRS. DAVIS Series at Peacock with YOUNG SHELDON Writer Tara Hernandez
Watchmen series creator Damon Lindelof has jumped on board a new drama series project being produced for Peacock titled Mrs. Davis. Young Sheldon writer Tara Hernandez has also jumped on board the series. Lindelof and Hernandez are co-writers on the series, with Hernandez also serving as showrunner.
While there aren’t really any story details to share for the ten-episode series, the project is said to be “an exploration of faith versus technology and an epic battle of biblical and binary proportions.”
Hernandez said in a statement, “In a year that has felt totally surreal, partnering with Damon to craft the world of Mrs. Davis truly takes the cake. To have the support of Warner Bros., who championed our vision from the beginning, and to now have the perfect home at Peacock alongside Susan [Rovner], Lisa [Katz], and the rest of their incredible team — I am at a loss for words. I promise to find them as we bring this wonderfully weird story to life.”
Lindelof added, “Tara Hernandez is an astonishingly original talent. Talking about Mrs. Davis with her was one of the few things that kept me sane through the pandemic… I can’t wait for the world to be introduced to both of them.”
Not sure what is going to come of this, but for the most part, I enjoy Lindelof’s work. I especially loved what he did with Watchmen, and I hope that this series has the same level of storytelling quality.
