Spike Lee Developing Fleet Week Dramedy ‘Liberty’ From Writers Rebecca Murga & Jalysa Conway


Spike Lee is developing 'Liberty,' a Fleet Week drama from writers Rebecca Murga and Jalysa Conway.

The drama, for which Heidi Cole McAdams is serving as showrunner, follows a group of ex-military personnel who operate a ranch on the Texas-Mexico border by day and conduct various missions across the globe by night. One of the most celebrated directors of his generation, whose feature career spans over 30 years, Lee is coming off of Highest 2 Lowest, a crime thriller based on Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 film High and Low, which stars Denzel Washington, Ilfenesh Hadera, Jeffrey Wright, Ice Spice, and A$AP Rocky. Prior to that, Lee directed the Vietnam drama Da 5 Bloods for Netflix, as well as Focus Features’ BlacKkKlansman, which earned him an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay and a DGA Award nomination, among other accolades.
