AMC Studios is at work on an anthology series for AMC celebrating the American spirit – and first up is a John Steinbeck classic. “For more than a year we have been searching for the perfect story to launch our next big television franchise, and we found it in The Grapes of Wrath, which is as timely and relevant today as it was when first published in 1939,” said Dan McDermott, President of Entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “Our country is built upon so many unforgettable historic and dramatic moments, tales of bravery and courage, classic novels, short stories, and chronicles well known and never-before-told. As a network that began its life as American Movie Classics, this is the franchise we’re destined to bring to the screen.” Rolin Jones (“Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire”) is attached to adapt the first season of the new series and then manage the franchise.
