Deadline and other outlets are reporting that father-and-son duo, Lost co-showrunner Carlton Cuse and Nick Cuse (Masters of the Air, Station Eleven) are in very early development on a Star Wars series for Lucasfilm.
No details on the project are being revealed. This marks father-and-son’s first formal project together.
Before recently being invited to develop a Star Wars series, prolific Emmy-winning writer-producer Carlton Cuse, who is under a first-look deal at Amazon MGM Studios, had had conversations with Lucasfilm about potential series collaborations years ago while under a deal at Disney sibling ABC Studios.
Currently, Cuse serves as executive producer/co-showrunner alongside creator Zoe Robyn of Netflix’s medical drama Pulse. He was co-showrunner with Damon Lindelof on Lost which aired on ABC for six seasons. He created and served as showrunner for the first two seasons on Prime Video’s Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. He also developed and executive produced, with John Ridley, Five Days At Memorial for Apple TV+ and developed and served as writer, director, and showrunner (with Meredith Averill) on Locke & Key, based on the graphic novels by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez.
Nick Cuse worked with Lindelof on Watchmen and The Leftovers. His other credits include writer-co-executive producer on Station Eleven and consulting producer on Masters of the Air.
