Based off the book by Erik Larson, the series will follow two historical figures.
One is Daniel Burnham who was the chief architect behind the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. And the second is the notorious serial killer H.H. Holmes who preyed on unsuspecting victims during the World's Fair. Holmes became especially infamous for luring victims into his so called 'Murder Castle', a building owned by Holmes where he disposed of them.
The series is being produced by Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio.
I read the book years ago. It's quite possibly one of the more chilling true-crime books I read in a while.

I have not read the book, but the concept sounds great. I like Keanu. I'd be excited to see him join a streaming series. Hope this one gets made with him.

I remember this story from an episode of the short-lived time travel series "Timeless". I looked up more information about it afterwards and I remember being shocked! A miniseries with good production values would definitely be interesting.

I actually have had this book on my shelf for like ten years. Still haven’t gotten around to reading it.

"Either role would be perfectly suited for the talents of the Matrix and John Wick star." This person hasn't seen The Watcher. I thought this was supposed to be a vehicle for Leo himself, but he's probably the kind of guy who thinks TV is below him. I thought maybe he was loosening up between his string of comedies and now this, but I guess not. |

He wasn't allowed to bad mouth it until some time went by. |

They should see if they could just convince both Leo and Marty to Star and direct. It’d be something different for them doing a series. Scorsese already likes to make 4hr movies. He’d pretty much have unlimited hours with a series. I’m sure Hulu would let him do just about whatever he wanted.

I want to see this adapted but it seems to be cursed.
