Death in Alaska’s Jewish Sanctuary

Since I greatly enjoyed the 2007 detective novel that serves as this coming program’s inspiration, I look forward to seeing the results of CBS’ efforts. From In Reference to Murder:

CBS TV Studios is developing a TV series project based on Michael Chabon’s alternative history book, [The] Yiddish Policemen’s Union. The story follows Jewish refugees from Hitler’s Europe who found unlikely refuge on the Alaskan panhandle. In the present day of this world, Homicide Detective Meyer Landsman must overcome the shambles of his broken life and marriage to solve a mysterious murder with profound political and religious ramifications.

Deadline Hollywood says Chabon will executive produce the series, along with his wife, Ayelet Waldman. It adds: “The project will be taken out shortly to premium cable and streaming networks.”
