‘Black Panther’ Screenwriter to Adapt Serial Killer Thriller ‘All the Sinners Bleed’ for Netflix Series
Joe Robert Cole (Black Panther, “American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson”) is adapting S.A. Cosby’s New York Times bestselling novel All the Sinners Bleed into a series for Netflix.
Haunted by his past in the FBI and his devout mother’s untimely death, the first Black sheriff in a small Bible Belt county is tasked with leading the hunt for a serial killer who has quietly been preying on Black communities in southern Virginia for years in the name of God.
Cole will serve as showrunner, writer, and executive producer in addition to directing the first and select episodes.
Cosby will also executive produce the nine-episode series along with Higher Ground Productions and Amblin Entertainment.
Higher Ground is the production company co-founded by Barack Obama, who included Cosby’s novel as part of his 2023 Summer Reading List.
