The provocative period drama explores the circumstances surrounding one of the most compelling chapters in American history — when intolerance and repression set neighbor against neighbor and led a town to mass hysteria. Production on the pilot will begin in the spring in Massachusetts.

Kohan will pen the script with Bruce Miller (Alphas, Eureka) and Tracy Miller. Kohan and Bruce Miller will also executive produce alongside Tara Herrmann, while Tracy Miller will receive a supervising producer credit and Mark Burley will co-exec produce. The drama is a co-production between HBO and Lionsgate TV, the latter of which also produces Netflix's Orange Is the New Black. For Van Sant, New World marks his latest project with Lionsgate TV, where he previously executive produced (and directed) Starz's critical darling Boss.

Anyone see that WGN Salem show? Is it any good?

Salem is bat shit insane. Like they seriously go all the way with the setting and don't dare look back. Worth a watch to see the wonders of dildo brooms and nipple frogs.

I hope this is played more straight because the witch trials are super interesting.

Love, love Eddie Izzard.

Have big respect for Jenji Kohan, despite Weeds going off the rails.

Will never forgive Gus Van Sant for Elephant, which might be the biggest cinematic waste of time I have ever experienced.
