The Hollywood Reporter

Boal, who won two Oscars for The Hurt Locker, is writing, directing and producing Intelligence, which "will explore the secret inner workings of power and how espionage intersects with politics, finance, media and Silicon Valley.," according to The Hollywood Reporter. "The first season, in success, will explore the behind-the-scenes history that led to the 2016 U.S. election. Each subsequent season will look at a major world even through the lens of covert operations."
