From the IMDb:

NBC Turns to Film Director, Writer for New Dramas
Struggling NBC is looking to the movie business for help in arresting its steep ratings decline, signing up director Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) and screenwriter Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby, Crash) to come up with new dramatic series for midseason next year. Darabont has agreed to create one drama series and produce a second (neither was described); Haggis has agreed to serve as writer, director and executive producer of The Black Donnellys, set in New York's Hell's Kitchen.

(Ha ha, they don't call it "Hell's Kitchen" anymore, haven't they heard?)

Note that a series based on Haggis' indie Crash is set to air "midseason" on FX.

I want E-Z Streets back. :angry: Stupid CBS . . . (other notable credit: Due South)
