HBO picks up Robert Downey Jr.'s Perry Mason reboot
As predicted last year, HBO has formally picked up and is moving forward with Robert Downey Jr.’s reboot of legal drama Perry Mason. True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto was originally involved, but he has since moved on to the new season of True Detective. In Pizzolatto’s place will be Rolin Jones and Ron Fitzgerald, two frequent collaborators who have previously worked together on Weeds, Friday Night Lights, and—just because people deserve to know—AMC’s short-lived Low Winter Sun.
