HBO and Oscar-winning filmmaker Adam McKay are teaming up on a limited series about the global hunt for a COVID-19 vaccine.
The narrative of the series will be adapted from"The First Shot," an upcoming nonfiction book written by Brendan Borrell, a journalist whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Geographic and other publications.
In recent years, McKay has pivoted from directing raunchy comedies such as"Anchorman" and"Step Brothers" to taking on more topical, overtly political projects, such as the scathing Dick Cheney biopic"Vice" and the financial crisis docudrama"The Big Short."
