HBO Is Reviving ‘DTF St. Louis’ With a Twist, Here’s What You Need to Know About the Bold New Show
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: HBO has given the green light to “DTF St. Louis,” a dark comedy series directed by Steven Conrad, known for “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Patriot.” The upcoming series is an evolved version of Conrad’s limited series project “My Dentist’s Murder Trial” which began development two years ago. The real criminal scheme revolved around a New York-based dentist accused of killing the husband of the woman he had an affair with.
Although “DTF St. Louis” comes from the same production team, it reshapes the original concept into something bolder and darker, with an unexpected twist on the midlife crisis drama. “We are extremely excited to work with the brilliant author Steve Conrad, whose singular vision is at the heart of all his work as a storyteller,” said Francesca Orsi, HBO executive vice president of programming, head of drama series and of HBO films, in a press release. .
