Summary

Hilarie Burton Morgan is expanding her relationship with AMC Networks through a new drama series project. Titled "The New Gothic," the series is currently in development.
Burton Morgan is penning the script with her frequent collaborator Nick Gray. She will also produce the show via her production banner, Mischief Farm. This project highlights AMC's continued interest in the gothic genre. The network already has "Anne Rice's Immortal Universe" with shows like "Interview with the Vampire" and "Mayfair Witches."
"The New Gothic" is set to redefine the legendary storytelling of the American South. Its logline states it will follow the collision of the enterprising Bloom family with the resurrected Mississippi Mafia. The story unfolds in a landscape marked by "red clay and bad blood," where villainy is commonplace, but power is singular.
Burton Morgan also hosts and executive produces "True Crime Story: It Couldn't Happen Here" for SundanceTV and AMC+, which is entering its third season. "The New Gothic" will see Burton Morgan and Gray executive producing alongside Liz DeCesare of Authentic Management Productions.
