While he'll likely always be known for masterminding HBO's timeless crime drama The Sopranos, showrunner David Chase is saddling up for yet another foray into television with his upcoming series, Project: MKUltra.
As reported by Deadline, the limited-time series will be produced for HBO, featuring a dark and twisted journey into the clandestine CIA operation of the same name.
Based on the non-fiction book Project Mind Control: Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA, and the Tragedy of MKUltra by author John Lisle, the new show will specifically focus on Sidney Gottlieb, a CIA-affiliated chemist known for his infamous moniker, The Black Sorcerer.
Set amidst the most frigid days of the Cold War, the series will explore how Gottlieb orchestrated a series of mind control-experiments on both willing and unwilling subjects, inadvertently giving rise to the LSD counterculture movement.
The new series will mark the 80-year-old Chase's return to mainstream television for the first time in nearly two decades.
Previously, the showrunner had remained synonymous with his monumental work on The Sopranos, a critically praised crime drama that ran from 1999 to 2007 on HBO.
More recently, Chase co-wrote the screenplay for The Sopranos' long-awaited continuation, The Many Saints of Newark, a 2021 prequel film exploring Tony Soprano's earliest days as a career criminal.
Often regarded as one of the greatest TV shows ever made, The Sopranos focused on Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), a New Jersey-based gangster struggling to balance out his personal life with his rising career as a notorious criminal.
Winning countless awards throughout its six seasons on HBO, The Sopranos's accolades include 21 Primetime Emmy Awards, five Golden Globe Awards, eight Screen Actors Guild Awards and two Peabody Awards.
The series is also widely considered as one of the most influential TV shows of all time, with the Writers Guild of America featuring at the top of their list of the 101 best written TV series.
