Fineman is also an executive producer on The Lincoln Lawyer for Netflix, also from A+E Studios and Kelley, based on the series of best-selling novels by author Michael Connelly.

Current projects in development at A+E Studios from Fineman include The Fall, a thriller inspired by the Albert Camus tale of the same name; Elsewhere, a drama series based on the book by Dean Koontz; and Beautiful Strange, a character drama from writer Lara Radulovich.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Ross,” said Barry Jossen, president and head of A+E Studios. “With his keen eye for talent, excellent relationships and an unrivaled work ethic, Ross has delivered captivating projects that resonate with audiences. Ross shares our vision for locally-originated development with global appeal. He has an exciting slate of new projects that are ready to hit the market very soon. We look forward to building on this successful collaboration in the years ahead.”

“I love working with A+E Studios from the top on down,” Fineman said. “Barry and Tana Jamieson are very supportive and tenacious in their passion for every project we have together. Their can-do attitude, our shared vision of the marketplace and the support staff make this a great home for me and my projects. Kiel Elliott and Richard Rothstein are my day-to-day execs who always are an added value. A+E Studios is absolutely a huge part of why Big Sky and The Lincoln Lawyer are where they are. This is just the beginning of our mutually successful relationship.”
