HBO has officially ordered a new drama series titled "The Spread," with Javier Bardem attached to star and executive produce. The series is penned by Bill Dubuque and Sean Sansiveri, and its narrative unfolds in Miami, a city rapidly becoming known as "Wall Street South." This transformation positions Miami as a burgeoning paradise of power.
The show's premise centers on industry titans, elite hedge funds, and staggering wealth, where ruthless competition, vibrant nightlife, and personal ambition collide on an industrial scale. A visionary billionaire character, played by Bardem, is set to gather brilliant, hungry, and dangerous individuals to unleash their ambitions upon the markets that drive America.
This project emerged from a competitive bidding war, with HBO ultimately securing the rights over rivals such as Netflix, Prime Video, Paramount+, and Apple TV. HBO Programming Executive Vice President Francesca Orsi expressed excitement about setting a scripted series in Florida and exploring Miami's opulent chaos with a talented and fearless creative team.
"The Spread" is a co-production with Fifth Season TV Studio. Fifth Season's Creative Head Noah Greenshner described the project as a compelling story of power and ambition, vividly set against the glamorous backdrop of Miami. An exceptional creative team has been assembled to capture the unique energy of both the world and the city, collaborating with partners at HBO, Makeready, and Topic Studios.
