Debriefing with the President is coming to TNT. The four-hour miniseries will be a dramatization of the 2003 interrogation of Saddam Hussein.
This marks the first cable broadcaster order for scripted content since withdrawing from scripted production. TNT also recently The Librarians: The Next Chapter after The CW removed the series from its fall schedule.
Deadline revealed the following about the miniseries:
“Debriefing with the President (w/t) is the story of one man’s tireless search for the truth, a nation’s complicated fight for justice, and the bonds between fathers and sons. It tells for the first time the intimate story of two men at the center of one of the most defining conflicts of the 21st century. In 2003, John Nixon, a CIA analyst, became the first American to positively identify and interrogate Saddam Hussein. During their time together, Nixon began to understand the potential consequences of the invasion, the humanitarian horrors, and the geopolitical turmoil that would follow Saddam’s removal.”
The premiere date of the miniseries will be announced later.
