The Work, through 20th Century Fox TV, is set in the world of professional wrestling. It was written on spec by Scott O’Connor, author of the novels Untouchable and Half World. The script was shopped to cable networks, with Fox stepping up to take it off the table. O’Connor has been interested in professional wrestling and penned an article about WWE star Brock Lesnar in New York Times Magazine in August.

Parkes, MacDonald and Shiflett executive produce Smoke Sex Magic and The Work which are looking to bring new voices to TV. Under Parkes+MacDonald’s first-look deal at Uni TV, the company recently produced NBC’s limited series The Slap, written by Jon Robin Baitz and Parkes,

“First Robbie Baitz with The Slap, then Dave Digilio with Warrior, now with O’Connor and Murphy; Parkes MacDonald is committed to bringing strong, original voices to television,” Shiflett said. “It’s an exciting time to be working in the medium, and we’ll continue to pursue business with any storyteller who brings a unique perspective.”

Oh goody. I'm sure this won't be awful.

He wrote an article about Lesnar. You know he's good.

Sounds like it'll be fucking sweet as hell.
