The eight-episode limited series is based on the account of a prison break in upstate New York in the summer of 2015, which spawned a massive manhunt for two convicted murderers who were aided in their escape by a married female prison employee with whom they both became sexually entangled.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Showtime, <em>Escape at Dannemora<\/em> will be written and executive produced by Brett Johnson (<em>Mad Men<\/em>) and Michael Tolkin (<em>The Player<\/em>). In addition to Stiller, Johnson and Tolkin, the executive producers will be Bryan Zuriff (<em>Ray Donovan<\/em>), Michael De Luca (<em>Captain Phillips<\/em>, <em>The Social Network<\/em>, <em>Fifty Shades of Grey<\/em>) via Michael De Luca Productions, and Nicky Weinstock for Red Hour Productions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are all very intent on trying to tell this singular story in a way that shows the reality and humanity of the people involved,\u201d said Stiller. \u201cWhile the genre is a prison escape story, at its core it is a story about real people, some criminals and some not, who make some bad choices that have huge consequences.
