Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa are close to finalizing a deal with Showtime to acquire and turn Nathan Englander's 2013 novel Dinner at the Center of the Earth into a TV series. According to Deadline, "the novel is a sprawling drama that has some basis in real players in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, set in the Middle East and Europe, but the simplest way to describe it is a spy thriller in the vein of Homeland and The Night Manager."
