The team behind Scorpion is making a “modern-day Robin Hood” show for CBS
Thanks to a certain supposedly wealthy businessman’s recent ubiquity, the idea of some roguish hero stealing from the rich and giving to the poor is probably more tantalizing than it’s been in decades. According to Variety, CBS is going to tap into this desire to see rich assholes suffer with A Burglar’s Guide To The City, a TV adaptation of Geoff Manaugh’s non-fiction book of the same name. The project comes from Scorpion’s Paul Grellong, and its executive producers include Star Trek Beyond’s Alex Kurtzman and Justin Lin, both of whom also worked on Scorpion.
