Set immediately after the 2005 London bombings, it will focus on the manhunt for a group of terrorists and the\u00a0tragic killing of Jean Charles de Menezes, who was mistaken as a suspect. De Menezes\u2019 parents and other relatives are among those serving as consultants for the series.<\/p>\n<p>Liam Keelan, senior VP of original content for Europe and Africa at Disney, commented: \u201cThis is a crucial drama series for us, reflecting our ambition to tell stories with real authenticity and which really matter to our audiences. This is a subject Jeff Pope and Kwadjo Dajan are incredibly passionate about and have been wanting to explore for some time. It\u2019s a privilege for us to collaborate with them on this important true story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pope, writer and executive producer, added: \u201cAfter the July 7th bombings, the capital was in a state of terror, and fear of another imminent wave of deadly attacks ultimately led to the tragic death of Jean Charles de Menezes. This series is not just about how and why he died, but also about what followed, as it became painfully apparent that an innocent man had become another victim of these horrific events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dajan, executive producer, noted: \u201cThe more we delve into this story, the more compelled we feel to tell it. We\u2019re aware of the huge responsibility that comes with tackling this particular subject, and it\u2019s not something we take lightly. Built on a foundation of meticulous research, integrity and respect, Jeff\u2019s masterful writing and Paul\u2019s visceral approach will deliver a powerful, as well as sobering, series that will leave a lasting impact on our audience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff Pope, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter whose credits include Philomena, Stan and Ollie,\u00a0Little Boy Blue and A Confession, is penning\u00a0Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes for Disney+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":18845,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4795,6961,6962,6963],"class_list":["post-18844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-disney-plus","tag-etta-pictures","tag-jeff-pope","tag-suspect-the-shooting-of-jean-charles-de-menezes","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Disney+ Slates New Original from Jeff Pope - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/disney-slates-new-original-from-jeff-pope\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Disney+ Slates New Original from Jeff Pope - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Jeff Pope, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter whose credits include Philomena, Stan and Ollie,\u00a0Little Boy Blue and A Confession, is penning\u00a0Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes for Disney+.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/disney-slates-new-original-from-jeff-pope\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-06-22T13:13:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/Disney-Logo-1222.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"215\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/disney-slates-new-original-from-jeff-pope\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/disney-slates-new-original-from-jeff-pope\/\",\"name\":\"Disney+ Slates New Original from Jeff Pope - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-06-22T13:13:54+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-06-22T13:13:54+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/disney-slates-new-original-from-jeff-pope\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/disney-slates-new-original-from-jeff-pope\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/disney-slates-new-original-from-jeff-pope\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Disney+ Slates New Original from Jeff Pope\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
