NBC is set to develop a drama about a Korean family with the help of Sleepy Hollow co-showrunner Albert Kim.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the drama will feature a nearly all-Asian cast. Currently, the drama is untitled but the project has already received a script commitment at NBC.

Set to inherit the CEO’s wealth and fame, the drama has been described as “a Shakespearean battle for power” by THR.
Kim, who was a co-showrunner on TV series Sleepy Hollow, based the concept on Korean chaebols – multinational business conglomerates that are run by single ruling families.
