LOS ANGELES: NBC is going into development on a new one-hour drama from Breaking Bad and The Path actor Aaron Paul and John and Thomas Sonntag.

Titled Blackmail, the project will be written by the Sonntag brothers and Paul will produce under his Lucid Road banner. Universal Television is serving as the studio.

Blackmail follows a married couple who suffer a life-altering accident and vow to get back at the man who caused it by revealing his infidelity to his fiancée. Things take a dark turn when a straightforward blackmail plot becomes a dangerous cat-and-mouse game.

Paul currently stars in and is a producer on the Hulu series The Path. He is also a voice talent and executive producer on Netflix’s BoJack Horseman.
