FX is developing a new Philip Seymour Hoffman-produced police drama, it has been reported.



Titled Inside, the project has been penned by screenwriter and playwright Kyle Jarrow.

The drama, set in San Francisco, will focus on a homicide detective who discovers his father is an imprisoned serial killer who claims innocence in the murder of the detective's mother.

According to Deadline, Hoffman and his partner Emily Ziff are producing the project through their company Cooper's Town Productions. The company has thus far produced Hoffman's Oscar-nominated movie Capote and the comedy drama Jack Goes Boating.

As the series is in the early stages of development, it is not yet known who will be starring.

Connie Britton, star of the first instalment of anthology series American Horror Story, is allegedly in talks to develop a new series on the FX network with The Fighter director David O. Russell.

A series based on the Coen brothers' film Fargo is also in the works.

Philip Seymour Hoffman most recently starred in Moneyball, and is currently filming the political thriller A Most Wanted Man.
