The series was written by Lehane, and it will “follow a troubled detective and an enigmatic arson investigator (played by Egerton) as they pursue the trails of two serial arsonists,” reads a description of the series, per a news release.
Richard Plepler, Kary Antholis, Bradley Thomas and Dan Friedkin will executive produce. “Firebug” is the fourth project from Apple Studios produced by Imperative Entertainment, it’s also the latest collaboration for Lehane, Plepler, Antholis and Thomas following “Black Bird.”
