“Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane and “The Alienist” writer Seth Fisher will co-write the script and executive produce the limited series “The Winds of War” which will be shopped around to broadcast, cable and streaming platforms shortly.
The first project under MacFarlane’s $200 million overall deal with NBCUniversal, the project will be an adaptation of author Herman Wouk’s “The Winds of War” and “War and Remembrance” for Universal Content Productions.
The epic story published in 1971 follows one American family’s turbulent voyage across the continents and across the years that spanned World War II – showcasing small-scale human endurance in the face of large-scale global upheaval.
ABC previously adapted the work as an 18-hour, seven-part miniseries starring Robert Mitchum, Ali MacGraw and Jan-Michael Vincent.
