Darabont's been working on a Los Angeles-based period drama called "L.A. Noir" for TNT. Based on the nonfiction book by John Buntin, the show tracks the true story of the conflict between the LAPD, under the leadership of Police Chief William Parker (played by Neal McDonough), and a criminal network headed up by boxer-turned-gangster Mickey Cohen during the 1940s and ’50s.
While a six episode order sounds awfully short, the first season of "The Walking Dead" also only ran that long, and presumably offers a measure of comfort for what will surely be a pricier than average production. It'll also be interesting to see how Darabont fares in dealing with network execs and a TV schedule this time around, though clearly TNT has faith in him.
