in its first week. The book covers Comey's 2013-17 tenure as FBI director, his role in the 2016 election — both in the investigation of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state and in Russian interference with the election — and his relationship with President Trump, who fired Comey in May 2017.
Billy Ray adapted the book and will direct the miniseries, which is scheduled to go into production in November. A premiere date hasn't been set; CBS executives also have yet to decide whether the project will air on Showtime, CBS All Access or potentially both. "Jeff is so perfect for this part: great actor, instant integrity, loads of warmth, intelligence, complexity and gravitas," said Ray. "We talked backstage after I saw him inon Broadway, and I knew I was looking at the only person who could play Jim Comey. Lucky for me, he said yes."
