The drama will tell the story of a real-life eccentric British artist known for his paintings of anthropomorphized big-eyed cats.
The Nine Lives of Louis WainThe drama — about a real-life Victorian painter — is being helmed by BAFTA-nominated British director Will Sharpe , who wrote the script together with Simon Stephenson.
