Mark Boal, Megan Ellison to show 2016 election in mini series

Filmmaker Mark Boal and producer Megan Ellison, already frequent collaborators, are planning to tackle the 2016 presidential election in a new political mini-series.
The two said they don't have a broadcast partner as yet, but their plan is to develop the series through Boal's Page 1 company, in which Ellison is a partner, reported Deadline.
Boal - best known as the writer and producer of films including Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty," "The Hurt Locker" and upcoming Detroit riots drama -expects to make his debut as a director on the new political series.
Hugo Lindgren, a former editor of the New York Times magazine who now is president of Page 1, is assembling a group of investigative journalists in New York and Washington DC as contributors to the project. Boal expects to write a script for the series.

Ellison has worked closely with Boal on "Zero Dark Thirty", the "Detroit" film and season 2 of the podcast "Serial", which examined the case of the returned American prisoner of war Bowe Bergdahl, who was charged with desertion.
