J.J. Abrams producing a UFO docuseries for Showtime

The Hollywood Reporter

Abrams is teaming with directors Mark Monroe and Paul Crowder to explore the “unsettling theories of a subject that recently reached national headlines, and has historically been the focus of powerful politicians and CEOs, while average citizens pursuing the very same truth have been ridiculed and ostracized.” Titled UFO, the four-part docuseries will also look at “what clandestine influence the American government, lucrative private companies and the military may have in shielding the truth behind extraterrestrial phenomena to further their own agendas” and examine “the history of the phenomenon through cultural and political touchpoints, including shocking testimony from eyewitnesses across the country.”
