Melissa London HilfersGenine Esposito While Hilfers most recently created Monarch, a country music drama starring Susan Sarandon and Anna Friel for Fox TV, the writer is a self-professed justice junkie who more often than not, finds her way back to stories with the law at the center, as she has here. Previously a litigator at Cravath, Swaine and Moore LLP, she burst onto the scene with Undone, a legal thriller described as Gone Girl meets Primal Fear, which sold to Parkes + MacDonald and Black Bear in a competitive situation. Among Berlanti and Schechter’s upcoming projects is Sasha, a psychological thriller reteaming the duo with Johansson, which Amazon MGM Studios recently won in a five-way auction, as we were first to report.
