Paul McGuigan (Victor Frankenstein, Luke Cage, Sherlock) is set to direct and executive produce, and Travis Beacham (Pacific Rim, Clash of the Titans), who wrote original feature script, A Killing on Carnival Row, will serve as executive producer. Bloom will also serve as a producer on Carnival Row.
The series will begin filming this autumn and is expected to be released in 2019.
