Condolences to Martin Scorsese, whose Jonestown project was unceremoniously killed at Continental Studios. It looks like Bill Hader got the jump on him, as it was announced today the Saturday Night Live alum is developing a series centered on the Jonestown massacre for HBO.

This Jonestown project is separate from the series that “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan was developing at HBO in 2016. Leonardo DiCaprio previously executive produced docuseries “Jonestown” for Sundance TV in 2018. The actor/producer was later announced to lead MGM biopic “Jim Jones” in 2021.

Bill Hader and Daniel Zelman are developing an HBO series centered on Jim Jones and the infamous events at Jonestown.
