Disney+ UK Developing ‘After The Move To Nevada’ Drama Series With ‘Fool Me Once’ Writer Danny Brocklehurst

EXCLUSIVE: Disney+ is developing a caper drama series with Fool Me Once scribe Danny Brocklehurst.

We understand the show is titled After the Move to Nevada. Brocklehurst’s script is about a gangster movie fan who goes to a crime convention in Nevada, hence the title. While there, he gets mistaken for a mafia boss, and the story follows from there.

We are told the project has been in development for some time with Disney+ UK, and casting conversations are well underway. It is being produced by Wild Mercury, the Banijay-backed production company that has made the likes of the BBC’s The Sixth Commandment and Prime Video’s The Rig.

Brocklehurst would be the latest big name writer to work with Disney+. The double-BAFTA nominated scribe penned Netflix’s Fool Me Once, the Harlan Coben adaptation that was Netflix’s most-watched show of 2024. Other credits include Sky’s long-running Brassic and Harlan Coben’s Lazarus for Prime Video. Upcoming, Brocklehurst is writing thriller series Adultery for ITV starring Laura Donnelly.

Watch on Deadline

Disney+ UK has several big dramas on the horizon including Tony McNamara’s Mosquito starring Nicholas Hoult and Daisy Edgar-Jones, Alice and Steve with Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement, and a second season of Jilly Cooper adaptation Rivals. Last week, it revealed a first-look deal with Adolescence co-creator Stephen Graham’s indie. Led by Angela Jain, the Disney+ EMEA commissioning team recently promoted four executives including Rivals commissioner Lee Mason.

Disney declined comment on After the Move to Nevada.
