AMC Orders Two New Pilots
The network AMC, home to the TV gems
Mad Men and
Breaking Bad and
record-breaking The Walking Dead has ordered two new drama pilots for the 2015 season.
Knifeman and
Galyntine are the latest projects sent into production. Here are the series' descriptions:
Inspired by the biography of John Hunter by Wendy Moore, “The Knife Man: Blood, Body Snatching And The Birth of Modern Surgery,”
Knifeman is set in 18th Century London. It tells the story of a charming, arrogant, decorum-breaking genius who challenges societal norms to transform his visions into cutting-edge discoveries. A surgeon or “barber” in a time when blood-letting and praying was the norm, John Tattersal is a hard drinking, hard living man not afraid to push the boundaries of modern medicine, even if it takes digging up a few graves to do it. While he makes his living running an unlicensed operating theatre out of his residence, he picks up extra cash harvesting organs for his brother Julian, favorite son and prized physician of the St. Stephen’s teaching hospital.
Galyntine is rooted in a both fantasy/action adventure and science-fiction. In the vein of NBC’s
Revolution, It takes place at a time after a cataclysmic technology-induced disaster has resulted in a new society that has eschewed any form of technology. This catastrophic event leaves small numbers of survivors scattered around the planet and forced to adapt to isolation and unique challenges.
Per,
Deadline.
