Lawrence Of Arabia TV Series In The Works: Title, Season Plans & Script Update Revealed By Roland Emmerich

A Lawrence of Arabia TV show may be on the way, and famous director Roland Emmerich is shopping the idea. Inspired by the epic 1962 movie, which starred eight-time Oscar nominee Peter O'Toole, the show would focus on the real-world historical figure, T. E. Lawrence. Emmerich has extensive experience in Hollywood, having worked on Those About to Die, Independence Day (1996), and The Day After Tomorrow (2004).
According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, Emmerich hopes to create a brand-new show about the setting, though he intends to implement a small tweak to the title. Emmerich plans to develop Lawrence in Arabia, which will feature the change because "it has a little bit more characters" compared to the original movie. Emmerich wants three seasons, which would allow more space to explore Lawrence's Arabia than the original 3 hour and 47 minute run-time.
