TV: “Hung” Creators Raise The Dead In “Sleep No More”!
Showtime is developing a new series from “Hung” co-creators Dmitry Lipkin and Colette Burson, says Deadline.
Called “Sleep No More,” the Fox 21-produced supernatural thriller “tells the tale of a town where the dead keep returning to life.”
Lipkin and Burson were the creators of “The Riches” and co-creators of HBO’s now cancelled moonlighting male prostitute series “Hung.” The husband-and-wife team will serve as executive producers and writers. This is the first project from the duo in their recent two-year deal with Fox’s cable and reality TV division.
