Rob Thomas is turning to a great European classic for his next series project. The Veronica Mars creator has teamed with actor/writer Graham Norris for a drama inspired by Victor Hugo’s novel Les Misérables. The project, from Warner Bros. TV and Rob Thomas Prods., has landed at Fox with script commitment plus penalty. Written by Norris, the contemporary take on Les Misérables is a primetime soap about a brilliant lawyer running a legal exoneration program who fights to evade the consequences of his own unjust conviction many years before. He must navigate high society, continue his mission of saving innocent people, and manage his tumultuous family and romantic life — all while staying one step ahead of a ruthless U.S. Attorney who refuses to let the ghosts of the past die. Thomas is executive producing with frequent collaborators Danielle Stokdyk and Dan Etheridge who all worked with him on UPN’s Veronica Mars, ABC’s Cupid and Starz’s Party Down. Norris serves as supervising producer.
