The New York Times is developing a scripted anthology series based on its "Overlooked" obituary series
-
The Times has yet another TV show in the works, partnering with Paramount Television on the 10-episode series Overlooked, which will use each episode to tell the story of a woman who left an indelible mark on history but didn't get a New York Times obituary. The Times' "Overlooked" series, launched earlier this year, aims to give those historical women proper obituaries. They include Charlotte Brontë and Ida B. Wells. Each episode will be written and directed by women. Earlier this month, The Times announced that it would partner with FX on the weekly series The Weekly.
