Hulu is hunting legendary mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger in a new docuseries narrated by Ben Affleck.
The streamer has ordered three-part docuseries Hunting Whitey Bulger (w/t) as part of its growing empire of true-crime titles.
Bulger has been the subject and inspiration for a number of major Hollywood movies including Jack Nicholson starrer The Departed and Johnny Depp-led Black Mass.
He was the leader of the Winter Hill Gang, an Irish mob based in northwest Boston. He went into hiding after his former FBI handler, John Connolly, tipped him off about a pending RICO indictment and he remained at large for 16 years before being captured in 2011. He was found guilty on thirty one counts including racketeering charges and was found to have been involved in 11 murders. He was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences and died in 2018 when he was beaten to death in prison.
Hunting Whitey Bulger is based on fresh reporting including never-before-seen hand-written letters from prison and key players speaking on camera for the first time to tell the “definitive inside story of the pursuit, capture, and killing” of Bulger.
The three-parter is directed by Zackary Canepari (Flint Town). It comes from Tom Forman’s Terminal B TV, which is behind Netflix’s Unknown Number: The High School Catfish. Forman will exec produce with David Metzler with Claire Read serving as executive producer and showrunner.
The Town star will exec produce through his Artists Equity company alongside Kyle Wheeler. Before Black Mass, Affleck was attached to direct a Bulger starring his friend Matt Damon, but the project never moved forward.
Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge, authors of Hunting Whitey: The Inside Story of the Capture and Killing of America’s Most Wanted Crime Boss, also serve as executive producers. Jesse Kerns is attached as co-executive producer.
Hulu’s true-crime slate also includes documentaries and series including Friends Like These: The Murder of Skylar Neese, Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke and Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini.
