Goodfellas screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi has teamed up with The Sopranos writer and Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter for a new TV mob drama.
Deadline reports that the untitled series for Showtime is inspired by Pileggi’s “in-depth chronology of organized crime in America — which is also the history of corruption in America — as seen through the eyes of the mafia’s First Family.”
