Disney's Onyx Wins Bidding War for Limited Thriller Series THE PLOT Starring Mahershala Ali for Hulu
In a competitive bidding was, Disney’s Onyx Collective has won the rights to the limited thriller series titled The Plot, starring Oscar and Emmy-winner Mahershala Ali (Moonlight, Green Book, True Detective). The eight-episode limited series, from Endeavor Content, will stream on Hulu in the U.S., Star+ in Latin America, and Disney+ in all other territories.
The Plot is an adaptation of the bestselling novel of the same name by Jean Hanff Korelitz, whose book You Should Have Known was adapted into HBO’s The Undoing starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant.
Described as a gripping cat and mouse story, “The Plot centers on a struggling author Jake (Ali) who is primed to take advantage of any opportunity that might help revive his career. When a once in a lifetime opportunity presents itself, Jake commits an act of literary theft that changes his life irrevocably. Now, someone knows his secret and is threatening him…and we will see just how far Jake will go to protect himself and the life he’s built.”
Ali is a fantastic actor, and I really enjoyed The Undoing, so I bet this story will also be a solid one.
