Lionsgate TV is closing in on a deal with Amazon for an hourlong drama series inspired by characters and themes from Bob Dylan’s vast archive of songs.
“Time Out of Mind” will be spearheaded by writer-director Josh Wakely, who managed to secure the wide-ranging rights deal for Dylan’s song catalog. The project, which is in the early stage of development, will be produced through Wakely’s Sydney-based Grace production banner.
The deal with the Dylan archive marks another musical rights coup for Wakely, the Australian filmmaker who earlier this year announced a deal with the Beatles’ Northern Songs publishing unit for a Netflix animated children’s series, “Beat Bugs,” that will feature stories inspired by Beatles tunes. Eddie Vedder, Pink and Sia are among the artists lined up to record Beatles covers for the series, which bows on Netflix this summer.
