Watergate - ABC Developing Event Series

ABC is in early stages of developing Watergate, an event series set in the 1970s Nixon White House during the Watergate burglary and scandal, from Entertainment One and producer Bob Cooper.

Written by Jon Maas (The Last Debate), the series takes place amid the sexual revolution of the 1970s and is told through the eyes of John Dean, then-White House Counsel for President Richard Nixon. It’s described as a Faustian, cautionary thriller about a man who thinks he’s getting the job of a lifetime as he walks into the Oval Office of the White House, only to discover that it’s a snake pit and he’s being set up to be the fall guy for the most powerful man in the country, if not the world. The series follows Dean as he risks everything to fight back.
