Former NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt is returning to NBCUniversal as a producer after eight years, Deadline reported. His initial project under a new first-look deal with Universal Television is The Lies I Tell, a series adaptation of the 2022 bestselling novel by Julie Clark. Ken Olin, Roxanne Olin, Greenblatt, Jon Wu, and Clark are executive producing.
"Bob is a well-respected creative force in the industry. Welcoming him back to Universal Television feels both exciting and fitting," Erin Underhill, president of Universal Television, said. "His taste, vision and relationships have shaped some of television's most enduring hits, and we can't wait to collaborate with him on what comes next."
The Lies I Tell is "a cat-and-mouse thriller about a chameleon-like con artist, Meg, and a journalist, Kat Roberts, who has been waiting ten years for the woman who upended her life to return. And now that she has, Kat is determined to be the one to expose her. But as the two women grow closer, Kat's long-held assumptions begin to crumble, leaving Kat to wonder who Meg's true target is," Deadline noted.
