AMC Orders ‘White City’ Pilot

AMC is looking to replenish its original programming, ordering yet another pilot, this time the Afghanistan-set drama White City.

With a script written by Nick McDonell and John Dempsey, White City  will follow Western diplomats and journalists in Kabul. Chris Mundy and Tom Freston will serve as executive producers.

This is a story born from a creative team in Chris, John, Nick and Tom that has both an incredibly deep understanding of one of the most misunderstood regions of the world, and a fantastic sense of how to tell a compelling story about the lives of people who are drawn to the world’s hot spots,” said AMC exec vp of original programming, production and digital content Joel Stillerman.
