HBO, LeBron James Developing Serial Season 3 Into HBO Limited Series
As in the podcast, the series will explore the Ohio criminal justice system.
Serial, the hit podcast devoted to thoroughly telling a single true-crime story each season, will have its third season adapted into a limited series for HBO according to
The Hollywood Reporter. The series doesn t yet have a name, but host Sarah Koenig will executive produce alongside professional basketball player LeBron James via his production company SpringHill Entertainment.
The podcast s third season, which first aired in 2018, explores the criminal justice system in Cleveland. (James was born in Akron, Ohio and has family ties to the state.) The untitled drama will reportedly follow a young cop and the man he s accused of beating while illuminating the flawed inner-workings of a middle-American courthouse and how the system impacts everyone it touches, from cops, lawyers, and citizens accused of and victimized by crimes.
