Gladwell's 2008 book Outliers: The Story of Success is being developed as a TV series from producer Brian Grazer. "Outliers will take a detailed look at why people are successful, what makes them successful and at what cost," per Deadline. "Part historical drama, part biopic, each season will profile individuals through an unique lens, looking at the specific historical situation which led to their outsized imprint on society and what ultimately makes them an Outlier." Season 1 will focus on Dr. Fauci, pioneer and leading expert in the field of Immunology and lead member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, who has advised six presidents on HIV/AIDS and many other domestic and global health issues. President George H.W. Bush hailed Dr. Fauci as one of his heroes during a 1988 presidential debate and President George W. Bush honored Fauci with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2008.
