\n Apple TV has ordered \u201cFive Days At Memorial,\u201d a limited series from Oscar-winner John Ridley and Emmy winner Carlton Cuse, which chronicles events in the immedia<\/a>te aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.<\/p>\n

The pickup of the new series, based on the acclaimed non-fiction book by Pulitzer Prize winning author Sheri Fink, comes on the 15th anniversary of one of America\u2019s worst natural\u00a0disasters.<\/p>\n

\u201cFive Days At Memorial,\u201d from ABC Signature, chronicles the first five days in a New Orleans, LA, hospital after Hurricane Katrina made landfall. When the floodwaters rose, the power failed, and the heat climbed, exhausted caregivers were forced to make life-and-death decisions that haunted them for years to come.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, forty dead bodies were found in the hospital. The book explores how and why that happened.\u00a0On the surface, it is a disaster thriller but at its core is an examination of difficult moral and ethical decision making in a time of great crisis.<\/p>\n

Ridley and Cuse will both serve as writers, executive producers and co-showrunners. Ridley wrote the pilot script, with him and Cuse splitting up the writing duties on the other episodes. Ridley will direct the pilot and a number of subsequent episodes. Fink also exec produces.<\/p>\n

Fink\u2019s \u201cFive Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital\u201d has been sought-after IP.<\/p>\n

In a competitive situation, the book, published by Crown in 2013, was originally acquired by Scott Rudin to turn into a movie. When the option lapsed, the rights were swiftly acquired by Ryan Murphy for a limited series adaptation. The book was earmarked as source material for the then-in-the-works \u201cAmerican Crime Story: Katrina\u201d installment of the Emmy-winning FX anthology series, with Murphy\u2019s go-to-actor, Sarah Paulson, attached to play Dr. Anna Pou, the doctor on duty at Memorial when the storm hit.<\/p>\n

\u201cACS: Katrina\u201d ultimately was shelved. When\u00a0\u201cFive Days At Memorial\u201d became available again, Cuse quickly stepped in, acquiring the rights through his overall deal at ABC Signature. He then reached out to Ridley, also based at ABC Signature, to collaborate on the project together.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0\u201cFive Days At Memorial,\u201d\u00a0Fink, a physician as well as a writer, takes an unflinching look at the decisions doctors made at Memorial Medical Center, a hospital in New Orleans that was overwhelmed in 2005 by\u00a0Hurricane Katrina.<\/p>\n

The book looks to answer the question whether medical staff at Memorial, led by Dr. Pou, euthanized critically ill patients after being trapped in the hospital for days without power. It also focuses on an attempt to prosecute Dr. Pou and two nurses for homicide after an investigation showed elevated levels of morphine and other drugs in 23 patients who had died at the hospital over the five-day period during Katrina.<\/p>\n

Fink won the Pulitzer for a dispatch she wrote as an assignment for ProPublica and The New Times Magazine in 2009, titled The Deadly Choices at Memorial, which she then expanded into a book.<\/p>\n

Former \u201cLost\u201d exec producer\/co-showrunner Cuse serves as executive producer\/showrunner on the Netflix series \u201cLocke & Key,\u201d which he also developed. He previously co-created and was executive producer\/showrunner on the first two seasons of Amazon\u2019s \u201cJack Ryan\u201d and co-created\/executive produced A&E\u2019s \u201cBates Motel,\u201d FX\u2019s\u00a0\u201cThe Strain\u201d\u00a0and USA\u2019s \u201cColony.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c12 Years Of Slave\u201d writer Ridley created and executive produced the ABC anthology series \u201cAmerican Crime\u201d and Showtime\u2019s limited series \u201cGuerilla.\u201d He is attached to write, direct and executive produce an untitled musical drama series for Showtime, executive produced by Alicia Keys and \u201cLa La Land\u201d\u2019s Benj Pasek\u00a0and\u00a0Justin Paul.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
