“Luther” creator Neil Cross is adapting his own novel of murder and the supernatural into a four-part series, “Because the Night,” for British commercial broadcaster ITV.
The drama is being produced by Euston Films, the classic label revived five years ago by Fremantle, which will oversee international distribution. Polly Hill, ITV’s head of drama, commissioned the series, which is based on Cross’ book “Burial.”
The show centers on Nathan, a well-meaning but aimless man who harbors a dark secret and is shaken when a figure from his past shows up on his doorstep. “I’m truly excited to be working with ITV to make ‘Because the Night,’” said Cross. “It’s one of my favorite stories: a tale of psychological suspense, of guilt and ghosts and murder. Oh, and love. Always love.”
Hill described the series as a “gripping contemporary thriller, which is both chilling and compelling.”

As Viacom prepares to morph Spike TV into the Paramount Network, it may now face a Weinstein problem.
Paramount Network, which officially debuts on January 18, is being repositioned as Viacom’s basic cable destination for premium content, on par with networks like FX and AMC. As part of that transformation, it’s leaning heavily on the Weinstein Company’s TV label to help sell the idea of being a new home for upscale fare.
But the “Weinstein” brand now takes on a new meaning — and much more baggage — following the highly publicized sexual harassment allegations against company founder Harvey Weinstein.
Weinstein’s actions toward women have been an open secret in Hollywood, yet the producer has remained a force in the business. While the Weinstein Co. has seen its stature in features diminish, it has recently bulked up on the TV side.

Twenty-five years ago, Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison (Helen Mirren) debuted on Masterpiece’s “Prime Suspect,” a show which dug into the sexism that still exists on modern police forces. Now that Mirren has retired the character, Masterpiece has dipped back into that well by turning back the clock.
Based on the book “Tennison” by author Lynda La Plante, who had created the character, “Prime Suspect: Tennison” stars Stefanie Martini (“Doctor Thorne,” “Emerald City”) as Jane Tennison, who is at this point a Wpc — Woman Police Constable — in 1973. Jane is just starting out with the Metropolitan Police Force, and has to prove herself even more in a man’s world that mainly values her as a glorified secretary, who can tend to their busy tasks in between her other duties. She gets her chance with her first murder investigation into the killing of a young woman.

Alison Brie has joined the ranks of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling now that the Community alum has agreed terms to headline Netflix’s all-new wrestling series, G.L.O.W.
Word comes by way of Deadline, confirming that Brie will headline the 10-episode comedy as an “out-of-work actress who finds one last attempt to live her dreams in the form of a weekly series about female wrestlers.” Ordered straight to series earlier in the year, G.L.O.W. has a trump card in executive producer Jenji Kohan – best known for hatching Netflix favorite Orange Is the New Black – and Kohan will no doubt be hoping for lightning to strike twice for his female-led dramas.
Enlisting Alison Brie as the de facto lead is certainly a good place to start. Aside from her comedic breakout as Annie Edison on NBC’s Community, the actress also held a role on Mad Men along with the Amazon original series,...
