Miramax TV is developing and producing a new original series entitled “Messy,” created by actress Carly Chaikin, Variety has learned exclusively. Chaikin is known best for playing the role of Darlene in USA Network’s “Mr. Robot” and co-starring as Dalia Royce in ABC’s “Suburgatory.” Chaikin not only wrote “Messy,” but will also star in the dark comedy about a mother-daughter duo that organizes houses for a living (the irony is that both of their lives are total messes). Chaikin will play the daughter. In addition, Liz Brizius, the Emmy-nominated co-creator and co-showrunner of Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie,” will serve as showrunner as part of the overall deal she inked with Miramax TV last summer. Also attached to produce “Messy” are Julie Bowen and Rachael Field of Bowen & Sons, who both previously worked together on the ABC sitcom “Modern Family.” “Carly Chaikin has written a refreshingly original comedy...

The bestselling Cetin Ikmen crime novels by Barbara Nadel, set in modern-day Istanbul, are coming to the small screen, thanks to a new pact between Miramax and ViacomCBS Int’l Studios (Vis) to co-produce the series adaptation, “The Turkish Detective.”
Deal is the first co-production between Vis and Miramax, the international film and television studio jointly owned by beIN Media Group and ViacomCBS, which acquired a stake in December last year.
The Cwa Silver Dagger-winning 21-novel book series has been acclaimed for its byzantine plots that shed light on areas of Istanbul not written about in tourist brochures.
“[Barbara] Nadel is a terrific writer, and her page-turning novels combine beautifully honed storytelling that is at once captivating, colorful and imbued with a distinctly authentic sense of place,” said Marc Helwig, Head of Worldwide Television at Miramax.

ViacomCBS International Studios and Miramax are partnering on their first project since ViacomCBS took a 49% stake in the film and TV studio in April.
The two companies will co-produce The Turkish Detective, a crime series set in modern-day Istanbul based on the 21 inspector Cetin Ikmen novels by Barbara Nadel.
Production on the series, which was first announced at Mipcom last year, will begin in spring next year. It will be sold to a third-party, though no network or streamer is attached at this point.
Each hour-long episode follows Ikmen and his partner Mehmet Suleyman as they solve a series of crimes, with the stories heavily rooted in the rich culture and history of Istanbul.
The Turkish Detective will be executive produced by Jill Offman — her first project since leaving her role as executive vice president of ViacomCBS International Studios UK in May.
