A Gangs of New York TV show is being developed with Martin Scorsese. According to Deadline, the upcoming show is based on the 1927 non-fiction book by Herbert Asbury and will focus on new characters that did not appear in the 2002 movie. Scorsese was previously attached to another adaptation of Gangs of New York back in 2013.

“This time and era of America’s history and heritage is rich with characters and stories that we could not fully explore in a two-hour film,” he said at the time. “A television series allows us the time and creative freedom to bring this colorful world, and all the implications it had and still does on our society, to life.”
