Starz Picks Up Da Vinci Drama

Starz has greenlit the new adventure drama Da Vinci's
Demons
, written by The Dark Knight scribe David S. Goyer.

The eight-episode series is the first project from Starz'
multi-year agreement with BBC Worldwide Productions signed last summer. Da
Vinci's Demons
is scheduled to begin production in early 2012 for a 2013
premiere.

The historical fantasy follows the untold story of
Leonardo Da Vinci as a 25-year-old in Florence, Italy during the Renaissance.

Da Vinci's Demons will join original dramas Boss, Spartacus:
Vengeance
and the upcoming Magic City on the pay cable network.
