Starz has just announced that Crash, a new original drama series based on the Oscar-winning Best Picture will debut exclusively on Starz this year. The 13-episode, one-hour series, co-produced with Lionsgate, will be Starz’s first original drama. Among the producers working on the show: Don Cheadle. Production is to begin in Spring. “Crash introduced a whole range of fascinating characters and engrossing, intertwined stories that are ideally suited for developing into a TV series,” Starz’s exec Stephan Shelanski said. “Starz is the premium channel for movies so it’s appropriate that this Best Picture-winner is providing the basis for our first dramatic series.”
