David Benioff and D. B. Weiss to produce Netflix’s Death by Lightning
Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss have teamed up once again with Bernie Caulfield, who was also a producer on their magnum opus. The upcoming Netflix historical drama, Death by Lightning, will be created by showrunner Mike Makowsky and stars Succession’s Matthew Macfadyen in the lead. He will be joined by Man of Steel’s General Zod, Michael Shannon.
What is Death by Lightning about?
Death by Lightning is based on the novel Destiny of the Republic by Candice Millard. The story of U.S. President James Garfield (Shannon) and his assassination by Charles Guiteau (Macfadyen) is portrayed in a dramatic fashion in the series.
The official synopsis reads:
