FX is expanding its miniseries offerings with Telemark, a 10-episode miniseries from the Oscar-winning director-writer-producer team behind Slumdog Millionaire and 127 Hours.

 

The 10-part mini was written by Simon Beaufoy and is based on the true story of the British-trained Norwegian resistance fighters who sabotaged Hitler's nuclear development program during World War II. Danny Boyle and Christian Colson will executive produce for Cloud Eight/Decibel Films for FX.

 

Telemark serves as a reunion for Boyle, Beaufoy and Colson, who last teamed for 127 Hours. It marks the trio's first project for American television.

 

"As we all know, some of the very best narrative fiction ever told is currently being created as episodic television," Beaufoy said. "This incredible story is ideally suited to the slower burn and added complexity that the longer format allows, and I can't wait to get my teeth into this."
