Apple Goes Deeper Into La La Land With Damien Chazelle Project
Apple has taken another step toward becoming a power in the entertainment business by scooping up the rights for a TV project from Damien Chazelle, the Oscar-winning writer
and director of “La La Land,” the unlikely critical and box office hit from 2016.
It marks the latest television entry from Mr. Chazelle, who signed a deal with Netflix
in September to make “The Eddy,” an eight-episode musical series set in Paris.
In a very short period of time, with competition so intense, TV networks have begun committing
tens of millions of dollars to projects without so much as seeing a script.
Apple said that Mr. Chazelle would direct and write each episode of the new series’ first season.
Rarer still is an announcement of a coming series without a public disclosure of what was purchased
