Deadline

Timberman-Beverly Productions is partnering with filmmaker Tod Williams on the rarely explored origin story of one of history’s most iconic figures, Napoleon, who conquered much of France as its military leader and emperor. According to Deadline, "the series will explore Napoleon the son, brother, and husband; member of a turbulent clan made up of equally fascinating individuals, emotionally ruled by a powerful matriarch, who achieved her ultimate exhaustive ambition to rule without limitation through her children."
