Hulu is developing a series version of the Scott Turow novel “Suspect,” Variety has learned.

The project hails from writer and executive producer Marissa Jo Cerar. Bruce Miller is attached to executive produce, with Matt Shakman onboard to direct and executive produce. MGM will also executive produce, as will Turow. 20th Television is the studio.

The official logline for the show states, “Pinky, a private investigator, searches for evidence to exonerate a female police chief accused of extorting sex from male officers in exchange for job promotions.”

Cerar previously worked with Miller as a supervising producer and writer on “The Handmaid’s Tale,” on which Miller was the creator and showrunner. She was the creator of the ABC limited series “Women of the Movement” and Hulu’s “Black Cake,” also serving as showrunner on both shows. She has also written for shows like “13 Reasons Why” at Netflix, “Shots Fired” at Fox, and “The Fosters” at Freeform.

She is repped by CAA, Heroes and Villains Entertainment, and Myman Greenspan.

Miller concluded “The Handmaid’s Tale” after six seasons in 2025. The show received 77 Emmy nominations during its run, winning 15. Those wins include multiple acting wins, best writing for a drama series (Miller), and best drama series. Most recently, Miller created and launched the sequel series “The Testaments” on Hulu, with that show quickly earning a Season 2 renewal. Miller is also known for his work on shows like “ER,” “Eureka,” and “Alphas.”

He is repped by CAA and Jackoway Austen.

Shakman is a three-time Emmy nominee — one for directing on the Hulu series “The Great” and two for his work on the hit Marvel series “WandaVision.” He most recently directed the Marvel film “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” and the Apple TV series “Monarch.” He has also directed episodes of shows like “Game of Thrones,” “The Boys,” “Succession,” “Billions,” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

He is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.
