Lee Daniels EP’d ‘ ‘The Spook Who Sat By The Door’ Names Adaption Team – Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: The final season of Empire debuts tonight on Fox, but co-creator Lee Daniels is planning for the post-Lyons future with a new version of a seminal satire and thriller for FX.

Having optioned Sam Greenlee’s spy novel The Spook Who Sat By The Door in the summer of 2018 for a potential TV series, Lee Daniel’s production company has now named Leigh Dana Jackson to adopt the CIA tale for the small screen, I’ve learned. The 24: Legacy producer and Raising Dion co-EP will executive producer the intended series, as well as write it.

This new TSWSBTD is currently in development at the now Disney-owned John Landgraf-run cabler.

i’m using similar concepts in my new web series. The first episode even shares the title with the novel as an homage

I read the book it'd be a good mini-series if they don't fucc up the casting but thats usually half the fun to these directors

The Queer Who Sat Bu The Door

I can see it now. A undercover black gay man probably Malik yoga or jusse smullet as the spook infiltrating a straight black organization trying to turn it gay from the inside out. It'll be a real life true story.

Given who he is, I can see no reason he’d be involved in anything related to this particular movie...unless he is trying to make it more palatable for other groups. The original version was just fine.
