Share on Reddit

Philip Seymour Hoffman has reportedly started developing a new drama for HBO.

Deadline says that the show, called Upstate, focuses on Roy Perkins, a man who has recently lost his job.
Roy moves his family to the countryside so that he can become a correctional officer at a new private prison.

Hoffman is best known for his film work and has previously starred in movies such as The Big Lebowski, The Talented Mr Ripley and Cold Mountain.

Upstate is being penned by Hung scribe Brett C. Leonard and playwright Bob Glaudini.

Furthermore HBO is reportedly developing a miniseries with Chloe Sevigny.

Apparently the four-hour drama focuses on the story of Lizzie Borden, the woman who was acquitted of murdering her father and stepmother in 1893 but faced public outrage.

Sevigny is thought to be heavily involved in the project and will executive produce as well as playing Borden.

Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman are also thought to be producing through their company Playtone, which makes Sevigny's current show Big Love.
