Dynamic & Adi Hasak Adapting Tempel for the U.S.

Dynamic Television and Adi Hasak (Shades of Blue, Eyewitness) are teaming up for a U.S. version of the German series Tempel.

The new drama, which is going straight to series, is based on a German format from ZDF. Tempel tells the story of Mark Tempel, an ex-con who struggles to pay the bills working as an elderly caregiver and is drawn back into the underground world of cage fighting in order to provide for his family.

Hasak has written the pilot script and a series bible for the upcoming eight-episode drama. Hasak will also write or co-write all episodes of the show. Dynamic Television will produce and handle worldwide distribution. Daniel March and Klaus Zimmerman of Dynamic will serve as executive producers.
