Moriarty

Moriarty is a contemporary drama series in development from Fremantle and Archery Pictures that places Sherlock Holmes' legendary adversary at the center of his own story. Written by Chris Cornwell and Oliver Lansley, the series reimagines Professor James Moriarty as a criminal psychology professor at Durham University who leads a double life as the mastermind behind sophisticated crimes across the North of England. When a rival criminal threatens his underground empire, Moriarty joins the police as a consultant to dismantle his foe while concealing his true identity. Paired with Detective Imogen Burrows, a stoic Yorkshire detective, Moriarty must navigate the growing danger of his partner's increasingly perceptive suspicions. Archery Pictures and Fremantle are co-producing, with Fremantle handling global sales. The project has yet to secure a network or begin casting.
