Prime Video Develops Boys from Biloxi Series with Patrick for John Grisham

Prime Video is diving into the world of John Grisham with a new series adaptation of his 2022 bestseller, The Boys From Biloxi. The show will explore the criminal underworld of Mississippi’s Gulf Coast, focusing on two childhood friends—one a prosecutor and the other the heir to a crime empire—as their lives intertwine in a battle for justice and loyalty.

Heading up this exciting project is Patrick Macmanus, known for his work on true-crime-inspired television like Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy and Dr. Death. Macmanus will write, executive produce, and serve as showrunner for the series, which is being developed by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group.

For fans of Grisham’s sharp legal thrillers, the adaptation of The Boys From Biloxi promises to deliver an engaging and suspenseful story. With Prime Video expanding its slate of crime dramas, there’s plenty to look forward to for viewers who enjoy gripping storytelling and compelling characters.
