Peter O'Toole as Lawrence with tears in his eyes in Lawrence of Arabia
A Lawrence of Arabia TV show may be on the way, and famous director Roland Emmerich is shopping the idea. Inspired by the epic 1962 movie, which starred eight-time Oscar nominee Peter O'Toole, the show would focus on the real-world historical figure, T. E. Lawrence. Emmerich has extensive experience in Hollywood, having worked on Those About to Die, Independence Day , and The Day After Tomorrow .
What The Lawrence In Arabia Script Means The Show Should Expand Lawrence Of Arabia's Universe Close Emmerich still intends to focus on expanding from Those About to Die's ending into season 2. The show was a major foray into historical TV for Emmerich, who is known for his science fiction and disaster movies. McCarten has more experience with biopics, including Bohemian Rhapsody and the Winston Churchill-focused Darkest Hour .
The show will serve as an expansion of the movie, featuring a larger cast and a more expansive story. McCarten and Emmerich wanted the show to extend over three seasons. A longer run-time would allow more space to explore Lawrence's Arabia than the original three-hour and 47-minute movie could afford. The current plan is for McCarten to write the first season, but there is no word on who would develop the following two seasons.
